I'm tossing up building a much trailer to be used in an orchard and vineyard. Mulch is relatively light, about 300kg to the cubic metre, but you need heaps of it to do anything useful. That said, I don't want to go nuts, and there are restrictions on size (width) where it'll be used, which has had me come down to a 3m long design that'll hold about 3-4 cubic metres.
The catch is emptying it. One option is making it a tipping trailer, which is kind of a known quantity and seems reasonably straightforward, but ideally, you want to be placing the mulch under the trees or vines, which usually requires a conveyor along the floor of the trailer, and then a conveyor pointing sideways to throw the material out. That aspect seems kind of challenging.
Quick Sketchup of the hopper concept below. Any ideas?
