Tractor air suspension / single point half round end dump

We have the tractor setup so that when you flip the switch to unlock the gate, the trailer bags dump automatically. I also think its a good idea to dump tractors bags so the frame is sitting on something solid, not bouncing side to side on the bags if there is a little wind or movement.

 

I have dropped near 2000 loads from my 24' framed since last July without dumping my tractor bags. After reading is thread and getting advice I tried it today a couple times and I must say, the tractor did feel somewhat more stable. Not a tremendous difference but I could still tell the bags were dumped.

 

Hey my man Matt. When you start pulling the 39-40' end dumps,I am betting money that you'll really notice the difference when dumping.

 

Another thing is with a spread if the front axle is on a high spot it will teeter realy bad, even with out air. I always do my best to insure the rear axle has majority of the weight on it.
