# How to Remove the Tailgate From My Landscape Trailer
A landscape trailer is small to moderate in size that you can pull with your garden tractor or even a larger vehicle such as a pickup truck. The tailgate is the back of the trailer that you can lock in an upright position to carry items such as dirt or rocks without them falling out of the trailer. At times, you may choose to remove the tailgate to haul heavier items or to dump the trailer to empty it.

Unlock the tailgate by pulling the locking pins out of each side lock. You will locate a pin on the left and right side of the tailgate. In most cases, the pins attach to chains to prevent you from losing them. As you remove the pins, hold the tailgate in an upright and closed position.

Slide the tailgate to the left or to the right to slide the pins on the tailgate out of the hinges welded to the frame of the trailer. The tailgate will only slide one way. However, that way depends on the construction of the tailgate and differs depending on the brand you own.
