[QUOTE="mikeeg02, post: 1361439, member: 24194"] Im sure if you checked with the engineers that designed it that way, there would be way more to the story then that. MBA's also have something to do with it. Its not like they dont manufacture the chassis around the work it does, they could build that chassis any way they needed to be. That machine is built to dig. Think about the break out force needed when scraping out rocks. Now think about it when its only on one side of the bucket. With a single ram, your hinges, and steel where the hinges are mounted need to be significantly stronger if they are taking all of the twisting force when digging from one side. Now if your lift is also supporting the bucket, You take stress off the hinge. But I dont think we need to get into heavy equipment design theory. But, if they wanted to put a single ram on one side. They could have. Regardless, that ad from big tex trailers is manufacturers snake oil because they dont use duals, and want to make it sound like its a poor design, and when buying a dump trailer, I would be more interested in knowing the ACTUAL lift capacity, more then caring about what design the hydraulics used.
