Much smaller than yours for hauling our inflatable boat and the occasional cut bush, and/or lumber. Have rims and times, and some aluminum I-beam. It will have to have trailer lights and everything. Not my strong suit, wiring, but what one person can do I can do also most of the time.
Your dump trailer sounds magnificent. You drop terms so casually of things that are out of my reach, such as 'front end loader', and make me realize how much I miss the U.S. at times. I could not legally import such a thing, and probably just as well, because I could become truly dangerous then (twirls moustache)
Sounds nice.
Well, if it's any consolation, my front end loader is mounted to our tractor, so it serves multiple purposes when you include the boom and the 3 pt hitch assembly on the back of the tractor also. The boom on the front end also has the universal skid steer attachment system, so any implement I can mount on the skid loader, I can also mount it on the front of the tractor. The 3 pt hitch on the rear can attach our mowers, discs, augers, grader, seeder, and harrows. On the front we can use our bucket, pallet forks, and hay spear.
We've tried to structure all of our equipment buys to be able to serve multiple purposes. I'd like to think we've largely accomplished this.
