Hey Tim,
Great video. It's nice to see a manufacturer that goes the extra mile and takes care of the small details, that many often don't!
Great move TTWT. I have built many trailers and have worked steel my entire life, I can see the quality put into those trailers and very well engineered. I love their operation too, very well organized and that says a lot about the type of product coming out the other end. Looks like it will trailer like a dream. Good luck.
I new about Bri-Mar but, didn't know BWise. And only 25 miles away. Another great tour video.
Congrats on getting a dump trailer that you can load a lot more brush & etc. then before. They look very high quality
Well built trailers! I welded at Trail King before some family issues took me away, but they make the best heavy haul trailers in the country. These trailer look just as well built as a big trail king trailer so you should be able to abuse it in the way it was meant to be. Can't wait to see it in action
Thank you to both!!! I have always wanted one of these trailers now I see how it's made now I know this is the tralier to buy!! Quality!!
Yep. Obviously we agree!
Love to see things built in the USA!!! The quality of those trailers looks like they will last a lifetime. Great Choice , enjoyed the video ,Thx.
Yes. Seems like it will last.
I really like the looks of the B-wise trailers...we have a dealer pretty close to us...
Green would be my pick too....looking forward to your follow up video showing all of the handy features....
This plant is just down the street from me here in Chambersburg, PA. I keep hinting at my dealer to get me a guided tour!!!! Thanks for the walk-thru.
Have a Bri-Mar dump trailer....had it for about 6 years now. Never failed me...used it just just this morning...Awesome product !!
strick
Good to hear. Thanks for the review.
The Bri part of brimar is the B of bwise same guy started both. He is such a nice guy I installed a geothermal unit at his home
You were in my home town Tim! Their facility is less than a half mile away from my parents' house.
Wow!
Hi Tim & Christy.. Funny thing, as I've been shopping for a new dump trailer.. And after seeing your video tonight, and all that goes into the BWISE manufacturing process, I now know which brand I'm going to order.. Thanks for this video, it really helped me out.. Was looking at PJ, Sure Trac, Load Trail, Big Tex & BWISE.. Now I know what brand to get.. Thank you.. Have a nice weekend..
Interesting to see how the powder coat holds up over the years. Looks nice. Just love that green.
Great looking trailer!! I am happy to see you building these relationships with the equipment manufacturers and dealers. It is a win/win/win situation. The manufacturers and dealers get large amounts of exposure for their brand/business that would have cost them enormous amounts of marketing funds with traditional advertising. You get the opportunity to expand your available equipment and expand your business while reducing or eliminating the financial burden of these capital expenditures. And all of us get to compare and contrast things as well as review their capabilities in a way we never would as a traditional customer coming in off the street.
Good tour. I've been a "trailer" guy for many, many years, as a heavy user. I presently use a 6.5X12 utility trailer, single axle, ramp end gate for my lawn service business - hauling three mowers, plus other gear, all under 3000GVW. Sometimes mulch, leaves, dirt, other debris. It goes out every day, 6-7 stops, short distances. Big-Tex, .. used it for more than 20 years. No bells/whistles, just plain hard-working trailer. Lots of scratches, some deck board rotting, but use it, use it, use it some more, without fanfare. I've rewired it a couple of times, lots of tires, new springs, end gate rebuilt. I'm not interested in how it looks, just let it work! Bri-Mar makes a similar one, but I was able to buy this one for $800 more than 20 years ago. The Bwise trailers look good, but are too expensive for business owner.
That is one special trailer for sure. Wonderful tour of the facilities. it looks like the proper place to make a quality product Congratulations Tim.
Haha. I knew you bought that at the show. Good choice. Looking forward to seeing big Casey fill it.
Congrats on the new trailer! It is definitely......... green. Thanks for taking us along on the tour.
took the tour about 4 years ago and ended up buying two trailers from them since, plant is spotless
Looking forward to seeing how you like your new trailer. Planning on getting one similar to yours in a couple months.
Call Bwise. They will ‘hook you up’ ...literally!
WOW, just got in from servicing my Tractor and your getting a really cool trailer............. Your guy (Dave) you were walking with slipped and said "Just like your trailer , Tim".......Congratulations
At what time

Guys, did either of you watch until the end??? :-)
@@TractorTimewithTim You got a Goose neck, I watched them help you set up your safety chains.
Shame they don't make trailers of that quality (not that I have seen anyway) in Australia. I would buy one of those in a hearbeat..>Well made with quality materials....
Nice! Now just engineer a cargo style backup camera for a 5th wheel. Glad you went with one.
Texas Strong have you seen the 15 cameras on the new 2020 GMC HD that was just announced?
Andrew Dorsett no, I will have to check it out
Andrew Dorsett That is crazy, and a little freaky if being honest that you can see in and through your trailer.
Thanks for sharing great factory tour. Looks like a quality product.
Trailers look to be very well built. Can't wait to see your new trailer on the job!
I helped get that building up and running. I welded in bay 1 building car haulers,equipment haulers and landscapes.
Nice trailers for sure. I have seen a lot of Bri-Mar trailers on the roads around here in Nova Scotia. It seems they are a rugged, hard working trailer. Hope you like yours!!!
Those are some amazing looking trailers!
You were just on the other side of the mountain from me I’m sitting here in Biglerville pa
Geat video hope you love your new trailer. With all this cold weather it would be awesome to see a video on properly starting a diesel.
Easy enough. I could do that !
Interesting post, I can only imagine the engineering that went into not only the trailers, but the processes to build them. I would guess BWise has an engineering team to solve those pesky issues that come up from time to time along with any improvements that are dreamed up by customers and the management team. Thanks for posting Tim. Certainly going to recommend BWise if anyone needs a great product.
We LOVE our BWise trailers!
Ngl they seemed nice years ago but check out their reviews it's not good .
Suspect you have an axe to grind with BWise. Our two trailers are fabulous! Well designed, reliable, incredibly functional. We have put them through a LOT of stress. Still going strong!
That was a great follow up video from the intro in Louisville... looking forward to seeing TTWT n family putting it through it's uses. Sending ya's some more snow from Michigan soon... lol
Uhoh! More snow!
We wanted to show a different style this time...more in depth...less marketing.
Great video Tim. I bought a new BWISE 22' deck-over gooseneck tilt with hydraulic remote jacks last year and I can't say enough good things about their trailers. Extremely well built and pulls like a champ.
The hydraulic jacks feel like the ultimate in luxury! I suppose they should ...given the name 'Ultimate Dump'!
I would love a deck over gooseneck/tilt. However, I was trying to avoid CDL requirements.
@@TractorTimewithTim I got the tandem axle with 7500 lb axles. The load capacity of mine after subtracting the trailer weight and adding additional capacity for the gooseneck is 11,900 so no CDL required for this one. Even with my one-ton Dodge still well under 26k.
What is the gvwr of your trailer?
@@TractorTimewithTim 16,800
And your truck gvwr? My F350 is 11,500
Love the trailer! They look built very well and great utility. Though I have to say, a Lime green trailer with a red truck is one heck of a combo. :P
The new Camo!
You know red truck and lime green dump trailer sounds like the sonic cherry limeade i had yesterday good investment i have a gooseneck dump trailer from b wise it gets worked hard everday
Really impressed with quality of these trailers, good information.
Can't wait to see you put that to work nice
You were in my town! Bwise trailers are the best around.
Hey Brett! My sister lives in Chambersburg.
Great video. Bet you can't wait to start using that thing
Ready for spring!!!
Thanks for the tour. Quality built for sure!👍
Waitin for the trailer to this video....nice info..Quality materials=Quality product
Looking at the B wise myself little more hassle to get one in Canada and im talking to them about trying to make me a ultimate dump in tandem dual with a gas power pack.
Looks like a solid trailer, I have never seen those around here in VA. I drove down too NC and bought a Kaufman 7x14, 15000 pound dump trailer that I’m very happy with.
Kaufman is opposite end of the spectrum of trailers.
I don't see Bwise trailers often(The company has alot of 2 and 3 star reviews because of their service , unless it's a fancy small business that's like a weekend warrior who has alot $ to spend on a bwise I dont see them , I've seen most other brands multiple times but only seen a few Bwise , I was few hrs from their PA plant and even then most of the guys who do equipment hauling went with pj , Kauffman or big tex all just as good maybe better than B . The one bwise trailer I had experience was ok it was a trailer no better or worse than most ok brands it didn't last in the well drilling but not alot does . With that being said my 20ft Kaufman is very nice and Bwise has a terrible over all review rating of 3 star maybe when this video was out they weren't as bad .
That’s a fancy shmancy new trailer you got yourself Tim. Can’t wait to see it in action! Enjoy your new toy! With that bright green color people will see you coming from miles away!
Keep on tractoring
God bless
Really Jon, toy? I've been scolded for that word. It's a tool. Yuppers, a big boy toy!
Tomas Keating I stand corrected... Enjoy your new tool Tim! 👍
Thanks Jon. This trailer really seems to be well thought out!
@@ritterjon are you though, standing?
God bless the welders the artist of raw materials that make the world a better place
Good video Tim. Those are some very well built trailers. Looks good behind that new Ford.
Really great video! Thanks for sharing!!!
cant wait to see that new dump trailer in action!
Very interesting tour, Tim. I bet the first thing you did when you got home was wash it off - i would have, no matter how good the paint is salt is still the enemy. You will love the gooseneck.
I did not. ...but would be nice. It has been COLD. Can't get the washer off.
Congrats on the new trailer. Great video. Love your content.
There will be one in my future for sure i think.
Thanks for the tour of the factory! Now you'll have to paint the truck to match!? One question I have is during the washing before painting, I could see a light coat of rust form, isn't that a concern? Or is it so little that it doesn't matter?
We discussed that in the video. It is not rust. It is the zirconium they apply to help the paint stick. It looks like rust, but it is not.
@@TractorTimewithTim Oh, okay. Sorry I missed that during the video. Thanks
look to be very well built. While I have no need of these, I love to see how stuff is made.
Nice, that's my next trailer.
Love this video I myself work in manufacturing of dumpsters
Thank you
Very good really enjoyed the interview and walk through.
Thanks Mike. Dave REALLY knows trailers. I hope that came through in the video.
great vid Tim love your content
Congratulations on your new trailer I've been looking at the 16 ft ultimate dump maybe will see you at the farm machinery show
That is what we have....the 16ft ultimate dump. Very Nice!!
Well it's a sad sad day . As of this evening I've completely caught up on all the ttwt videos Haha. Keep them coming
Sounds like it’s time to watch some reruns!
Nice trailer T.T.W.T I think it will hold a combine hopper for sure 👍
Hey, maybe I can help the family haul corn???
Very nice tour,trailer, it should pay for it self soon
Wondering if he used the trailer to haul a new kubota from messicks back!? Lo
Great video, very detailed process, looks like extremely good quality controlled. I am getting a Bri Mar E H 82”X 20’ 14000 lbs GVW , CAT YELLOW
Can’t wait to get my new TRAILER 8/10/2021
Great tour. Thanks!
Tim, That was a very informative trailer MFG tour. I really liked the orange tilt trailer at the end.
My first experience with a tilt trailer. I like the 'cushioned' tilt. Worked easily and gently.
lol I was just looking at these trailers! I actually need one pretty bad to haul gravel and my tractor.
Very impressed. And price competitive too once you consider all the bells and whistles.
@@TractorTimewithTim Apparently they don't have a dealer within 100 miles of me in KY :(
No need. They will ship!
Not to be picky, but I thought it to be odd that in the saw dept., they ran the saw dry and darn slow, never seen that one and I've seen a lot of different saw departments over the years. Whatever works for them. It seems they really put a lot of due diligence into every trailer, good stuff.
They should do a frameless with an adjustable tag axle. Set up wiring harness with a pigtail so if harness gets pulled/damaged just grab a new pigtail don't have to rewire hole trailer.
I just wish more stuff was built with quality like this company. I still got a old Wheel Horse lawn mower that my grandpa bought me when I was in kindergarten . It was are 4 wheeler, we got it stuck ponds and all kinds of stuff. I can go out 35 years later but gas and air the ties and go out and play. It went through all kinds of abuse.
If I knew you was coming to town, I would of had a project for you to tackle. LOL I grew up and graduated HS in Chambersburg. I hope you have a safe trip back to Indiana.
Every minute was booked. I’m sorry. Maybe we’ll get out there again sometime!
very good video thanks
My saying is . The day Quality is before quantity that when you have a good product I believe without a doubt my mind this is a great product.
Me too!
cool vid! saw MAZAK CNC machine in there. that is NOT a cheap machine so goes to show the measures these people are going thru to send out a top notch product.
Thanks for that tidbit. There is no question they are going the extra mile to produce the best quality product possible. Several 'off-camera' discussions with Dave as well as the owner further cemented this. They will NOT be the least expensive trailer you can buy, but it WILL be a quality trailer.
@@TractorTimewithTim ;
i see and believe. the MAZAK was more than enough, people like me will see it and believe int their quality. that machine is AIRCRAFT quality. as in ISO9100 plus.
Very nice and very well made trailers. Nice video.
Wow tim that was pretty awesome
Tim Christi good tour got a lot of questions answered but have more keep us posted on what your new trailer is
God Bless
PaK
Ok. We will certainly do so. So far, very impressed..but haven't used it for real work yet. Just the 500 mile trip home.
I bet It's Green. Mine would be. LOL
Keep watching.
WoW that Nice to see ,never seen iT .thx for sharing you Guys .👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️👍🏻❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
Congrats on the trailer Tim! Seems to lack nothing!
We have a ‘weakness’ for the high end features :-)
You and your Family deserve those high end features. Keep the vids coming, Thanks!
Good video have a nice day stay safe
Nice Trailer! Thanks for the tour!
Thank you for sharing
Nice trailers tim and good building quality 👌
Very nice looking trailers !!!!!!
Hey you were in my neck of the woods. Would have been awesome to meet you when you were in town.
Neat process Tim how they make there trailers they look solid
How does it feel behind the truck? Thanks Tim for video's
Rides smooth behind the truck.
Oh i think TTWT got a new trailer. Was the give away in the machine shop. "on yours"
I suppose so. ...of course the scenes where we are hooking up the trailer might have been a larger clue :-)
@@TractorTimewithTim LMAO sorry didn't catch that last bit as the children were demanding i feed them. Pft need to learn to fend for them self's lol. Great work guys love the videos.
Wow!!! A monstor of a Trailer, for a Monstor Truck!!!
Nice trailer Tim,time to get your CDL! Thanks for sharing
It is 14k gvwr. So I should be good.
@@TractorTimewithTim your laws must be different, a trailer over 10000 lbs ,u require an AZ or an AR license, if it is a fifth wheel combo they allow u 11000
lbs. Once u plate your truck and trailer combination which is over 10000lbs is a commercial vehicle.Your laws may differ but not that much, be safe not sorry,are DOT and police are brutal with fines around here, good luck
I plan to interview an Indiana DOT guy on the channel in March. We’ll try to get to the bottom of it.
I was interested in the axle requirements on the trailers. Of course the commercial ones would have heavier axle requirements, but wondering what ratings for instance on car trailers.
Stay tuned for upcoming episodes :-)
Wow, those are some nice trailers, great 👍video
The guy walking you around lets the cat out of the bag. I think you will like how a gooseneck trailer tows and how much more maneuverable it is. It will make your truck feel smaller, all because of where it is connected to your truck.
Don Hanson 🤔
Bumper tow trailers are in fact MORE maneuverable. A bumper tow trailer can be backed in and around obstacles with much tighter overall footprint than a gooseneck.
A gooseneck excels at tow-ability and load handling.
Cam Revill gooseneck and fifth wheel trailers cheat more to the inside of a turn. Bumper tow trailers have an articulation effect that allows the trailer tires to more closely follow the truck tires. This is what lends itself to maneuverability.
The tow vehicle on a gooseneck or fifth wheel trailer can turn much sharper in relation to the trailer, what is called “jackknifing”, but it is not adding to the maneuverability of the trailer.
For RVs backing into tight camp spots and smaller dump trailers backing into tight driveways, bumper tow trailers are more maneuverable.
Don Hanson congratulations.
You might notice above I said that gooseneck and fifth wheel trailers are far better for load dispersal. That isn’t the topic at hand.
The topic is maneuverability. And On that topic, I stated that bumper pull trailers track behind the tow vehicle better on tight turns and therefore can be better for non big-rig drivers such as yourself to maneuver if things are tight.
It’s a fact.
I won’t bore you with all of my qualifications, other than to say I have held my California Commercial class A license for around thirty years. I haul a Caterpillar D6N on a Cozad lowbed to fight wildfires. I’ve ran transfer trucks. I’ve ran bottom dumps. I’ve ran semi end dumps. I’ve hauled cars. I’ve hauled logs. I’ve hauled tank trailers. Wildfires in California never happen where there is a convenient turn around. It’s always tight. I understand maneuverability. If a fella has a giant parking lot to back trailers into stalls all day with a yard goat, bumper pulls wouldn’t be the first choice.
Im done with this bullshit.
@@dozer1642 in your first comment you contradict yourself. I have had the pleasure of training people to drive, tow, hands down they all find it easier to back up a trailer that pivots at the rear axle. Then with a simple hint most of them could take that same trail out of a parking structure alley exit without damaging anything. Maneuverability is not just going forward. You should know that if you are pulling dozers for Cal Fire. Or maybe take a refresher pulling box or refrigerate in the Northeast United States. My favorites were delivering to our old Military bases commissaries. You know the 90° blind alley docks. Then getting back out without taking a wall out. My employer was a comedian buying a 53' trailer for a dock that was built during the time of 43 and cabovers. What you mentioned is a bumper pull will tend to fallow closer to the same path of the axles but when backing a bumper pull their paths are more reactive to over active for most non professional drivers. Why do you think Ford came up with the trailer backing assistance system.
And now you're in Chambersburg? You were running around my neighborhood and I didn't get notice in order to come meet you. . (shaking head)
Sorry David. We had every minute booked. Maybe next time. My sister lives in Chambersburg.
@@TractorTimewithTim Just heckling you a bit. I bought my "Johnny" right near where you did your other video. I live in York so you were close on both of your visits. I have would have liked to have met you. Maybe anothe time. Have a great day.
Hope you enjoyed this area of PA. I was there and repaired their lazer chiller
My sister lives in Chambersburg. I have been there many times.
I had no idea that we had so many fans in the area. We REALLY need to do a meet & greet there someday.
@@TractorTimewithTim Would love that, I'm in central PA and would love to see johnny in person! (oh and you guys!!)
another great job
I'm a little jealous. I want a dump trailer
Very nice trailers
Is this your birthday or what? How did it pull on the way back home? Are we going to get a TTWT discount? So many questions and never enough money?
Hey Tim been a long time watcher but have to say not to excited with the BWise review and everything you have done. I know the manufacture probably helping out a bit with the costs and you are having a great relationship with them because of the number of your followers, but I have two trailers both custom and spent over $23,000 on the set and have had nothing but problems. Maybe with them knowing you yours will be better, but i would tell people to look at the reviews BWise has received as it seems like there are very similar issues going around to everyone (had the same issues on both of my trailers as well.
When did you purchase? Did you purchase a Bri-Mar or BWise?
I purchased in May and purchased a BWise trailer. Lime Green tri-axle custom built ultimate dump and a powdercoated grey hydro tilt, both gooseneck.
What problems have you had?
Same as a lot of others, paint peeling away from the frame in all locations (even the powdercoating). Issues with the wireless controller not working more than 10-15' from the controller box. Having to replace both batteries (they use a recycled battery and dont warranty it). Also issues with it not dumping a load that is well within the restrictions of the trailer (especially mine that are rated at 16,000 to get around having to have a CDL but really could have be rated at 22,000lbs). Load was loaded correct in the center of the trailer (not in the front) and couldnt lift 10,000 lbs. Also have had a lot of hydraulic leaks. Worst has been the poor customer service i have experienced and no dealers willing to do work on the trailers unless you purchased it from them because they have "a hard time with warranty work with BWise).
I get a lot of compliments on my ultimate dump in lime green as it looks killer, but after the operations issue and warranty i couldnt recommend the trailer.
Interesting. Thx. We’ll see how it goes for my trailer. I obviously haven’t used it yet.
The very first guy you went to see cutting material,,, laugh my butt off cutting steel in sweat pants and undershirt lol some folks these days😂
