My larger pull-behind trailer is also a dump, uses a small bottle jack and you pump it by hand, but it would be easy enough to fix up either an electric actuator or hydraulic cylinder. I've used this trailer for over ten years now, holds up to 1200 pounds.

Quick question
Why are you looking for a 3 point material holder with dump when you got an FEL? Honest question. Not being a smart aleck
I can answer that, at least for why I made one. I don't always want the loader on the tractor for various reasons including maneuverability in tight spots; I put the carry-all on the tractor sometimes when I mow, to throw sticks and lawn trash into while mowing. I don't need counterweight with the carryall; If I use the loader, it means putting something on the 3-point as counterweight. When doing some of our landscaping work, like paver patios and walks, I don't need the lifting height the loader offers, but do want something I can carry heavy stuff in like the pavers, cement bags, and tools.
 
Tow behind carts have their place, and I have a couple, but usually use my 318 to drag them around. The 3-point cart is handy when mowing with the 2520, easy enough to still maneuver when dodging trees, etc, and useful when picking up sticks and trash (I live on a main highway and there's plenty of crap gets thrown out of cars along the ROW). I've even used it as counterweight for the loader a couple of times, loaded with concrete blocks and suitcase weights. I kept the cart after selling my X748, one of the caster wheels had failed, and I wanted to see if I could adapt it as a collection system for the 2520 and the Powerflow. Still working on that concept.
