Open the tailgate, engage the power take off, engage the clutch, put the up - down lever in the "up" position, and raise the box.

a wet kit on the truck that lifts a hydraulic cylinder(s), is that what you meant or are you talking about getting it out of the dump box? we have hauled wheat in a dump truck and just put empty seed bags in the tailgate to fill the gapes then just pulled them out when we started dumping at the elevator.

Sorry, I thought you were asking about the procedure when you said
How do you get the thing to dump?

Check around, some grain elevators have dump platforms which raise the trailer up on a hoist to dump it. If so, you could use a covered wagon and save the expense of a PTO and dump trailer. Also, as mentioned, look into renting a hopper bottom.
