THis is my sister. As I posted I rarely handload stuff but if I ever do I'll use this. Now if I could figure out how to get dumptruck loaded stuff so easily packaged- maybe a bunch of tall but thin garbage cans...

we use tarps to move bulky loads round the farm here all the time! load up loose hay, green chop leaves etc. and go!

Jenn, I have that solution too! I call it my final tarp solution

Thanks for putting it up here, I got about 50 visits that I wouldn't have otherwise. I am really glad that somebody out there might be as obsessed with loading up their truck bed as I am.

I only use lasagna method for yard debris but I imagine that some obsessed person could layer some small tarps like roof shingles and bungees cords somehow to split up a dumptruck load. At this point I am resigned to hand shoveling those loads out.

Place a pallet under whatever you want to unload and have a chain hooked to it. Pull the chain and it all comes out. You can either pull it with another vehicle/tractor or just attach it to something and drive away. I have a frame made of steel with a pallet stood up at the frt that fits the bed of my pickup. Put the frame in and load whatever you want. Pull the frame out and it all comes out and the pallet cleans it out nicely.

Very clever, you could seperate materials too, like sand from gravel in one load.
