    Ahhhh yes. Forgot about that! I reckon the extra length would help ease the back strain. Lord knows we could all use a few more inches...

    Yes, i meant to pun. Im so punny.

    Well I have a conundrum. I was given permission to take a plow blade but its about half a ton and no way can I lift it and one helper isn't enough either. I dont have a winch on my truck, is there some easy build thing to make where I could possibly lift one end high enough to slide into my truck using another truck to pull a chain or rope attached to it?? I have ideas running through my head from building a 3 part frame with a chain or something lol, but Im not real technical like that to figure something out that I could erect in a few minutes and not permanently attach to the truck.

    Or is there a tree handy? Winch up, back under, lower.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I like that barrel/chain idea, there isn't a tree large enough to use by it or where I could move it to by pulling with chains. I'm pretty sure there is come-along at my dads. Thanks Mick!
