    Don't tell me no one else has ever tried this before. I grew up on a farm in NC, and we used that method to unload all types of stuff. Tobacco sticks, hay bales, etc. You do what you have to.

    Default Lapes

    It is how we yank tanks out of airplanes.
    We did it with pallets of sod. Tie pallet to tree. Floor it. Right off the truck! Works great!

    It works great!
    Until you miscalculate, and drop the front end of the truck about five feet!

    I've heard that they get a bit... anxious; when that happens!
    When they try to hover; it does NOT look like a huge hummingbird!
