Since you've got the 5ver. What about getting a nice used class8 tractor with a good sized sleeper? There are lots of those for sale for good bargains. Then get a medium sized utility trailer, probably a dump box type with it's own hydraulic dump mechanism. Put a hitch on the back of the 5ver. And put a hitch on the frame of your tractor. Pull the dump trailer empty behind the 5ver. Then when working drop the 5ver and used the tractor to pull your trailer. I see lots of 5ver's pulling boats behind them. Is there any law you can't pull a dump box behind one?
