That 4' x 6' box with those pieces running the long way of the box would give you only 3' sticking out over the axle each way and I dought very much that you could load it that heavy with manure on 2 pipes that you would have any problems. What would be good is for to put one down the middle for you to put the dump latch on to fasten to the toung. On each end of the center piece put a tee there with a 2' piece to each side with an elbow to fasten to each side piece and you will have a solid bed frame. Now if you were going to have 6' to each end of the trailer from the axle like I think most posters are thinking of then yes you would need several pieces to get any strength but for 3' out no problems at all with strength. And fot tipping the trailer just mount a small jack between the toung and bed. I have seen 18' tandam axle trailers that were factory built that used a modified 2 ton floor jack for the tipping. If there over there in Germany are small sizer jacks with a crank handle to raise and lower your car to change a tire one of those would work good fore tipping that trailer. The higher the bed the easier it will be to tip to unload.
