The trailer holds about 52 logs (pre chopping). You'll know its full because the pile won't rise anymore when you throw a new piece of wood in.

to dump it you set the parking brake, put it in neutral, and left click the rear hydraulics until the switch is all the way forward. next click the hand throttle until you have about 2000 rpms.

You can see if the trailer is full by throwing wood in it, and if it's not raising anymore, then it's full.
The way you dump off the wood is by pulling 1 of the levers on the left side i guess of your chair, also open the back of the trailer, then with the tractor on his brakes, throttle up the gas, then you will see the trailer is lifting. Then when all is empty, pull the lever to the opposite direction and throttle up so the trailer comes back. Close the back of the trailer, and grab the money from the guy. That's basicly it:) hope this helps :)

yess:) jc_the_trucker says the name of the lever, which is rear hydraulics

Time saving tip - to line up properly, pull up into the driveway from the back of the house and you will see a small bush in the middle of it just past where the guy is. Park with the cab of the tractor on top of it, that is the ideal position. Then as stated, shift into neutral, throttle up the manual throttle lever, left click the hydraulics lever so the trailer goes up, jump out and pop the trailer gate, collect the money, then two right clicks on the hydraulics lever, shut the gate, jump in, throttle down, gear up and go. The e-brake is optional, you only need it if you forget to to shift into neutral before the throttle up bit.

EDIT: I tend to chop 56 logs before loading up, because you will lose a few due to physics and whatnot. You can load up pretty fast (assuming you backed the wagon in) since all you have to do is touch the trailer with them and let go to get them into it. Just check outside before you start loading for any strays, and always drop the last couple in where you can see if the pile moves or not. If it still does, chop a couple more. Also don't forget to check on top of the wood pile, a few always end up there.

LOL I alway end up with the damned thing flapping like pac-man because of the way I load up with the wagon next to the block before I chop. Every other log I drop in at the back sets the tailgate off.
