This is my 2nd design for a simplified trip and dump mechanism. It's really only replacing limp ropes with 1/2" electrical conduit which (for me) replaces having to grope for a hanging rope. I made one shaft longer than the other and put hand sized hitch pins in the end of the conduit for handles. Now, I can dig and move ALOT of dirt and dump it without ever having to turn around to see what I'm doing and getting that "kink" in my neck. I know it's simple but for me, simple is better (and pretty cheap too) Here comes the rest of the pics (slowly) but please pay attention to one of the pics for a safety warning.
