Here at The Links at Brunello we have a couple of Toro 648 to use out on the course . We plan on trailering one to the outskirts to save time and a long leisurely walk . Chris ( superintendent) came up with the idea of using the extra dump box for the project . It was up to my abilities to make it happen .
Toro workman dump box .
Toro pro-core 648 needing a ride . ( 1500 lbs. + )
Flip box upside down and remove unnecessary hardware .
The box is well framed but I added extra by using 3" tube stock . 2" square tube stock was used for an axle .
Bought a couple of axles for a great price for the guys at Vesey's . Using a piece of 6"x 6"flat stock and angle iron made for a strong mounting area to slide over axle later .
A little bit of welding and measuring and it was time to
install the wheels . Wheels (cart tires ) came from a local clearance store .
Welding in some 2" square tube stock to reinforce the front of box for hitch area . It's going to hold a lot of weight .
Welding on the hitch arm .
A little test fitting .
and test drive
a few more adjustments .
Welded in a 1" bar for a wheel stop at the point where it has good balance one trailer .
And were good to go .

We had it out a few times leap frogging the aerators . Works great but I have an idea to keep it attached to the tow vehicle and still be able to tip it .
Stay tuned !!!!
