The farm truck will work ok for you with these considerations:
Rocks will be hard on the floor if you load into them from a high dump point. The floor will be wood or thinner metal, won't take the same abuse.
You can only load about 1/2 full, maybe enen less. That will be a good heavy load for a single axle, and plenty for the hoist. Don't overdo it.
Most dump trucks hoist very high, or at a steep angle, as wed dirt doesn't like to slide out well. Many grain trucks do not lift quite as high or steep, as grain rolls out a little easier. Probably not too much of a concern for light use or gravel or sand, but if you are hauling a bunch of wet clay stuff, you'd prefer a grain truck with a high lift or a real dump truck.
The farm truck should serve you fine for light general hobby type duty, but yes it has a little bit of limits.
