    Right where I want to be.
    In my mind's eye, I see a trailer being emptied.
    Exactly how.....is another vision completely. :)

    I have a set of those too, great for handling bucked wood.

    Looks pretty slick. Might have to look into them. Are they sold in pairs or single?

    I misplaced them a while back and bought another pair before I found them again. I think they work great for loading and unloading the wood. Also makes moving big rounds easier as well.
    The ones I bought are sold singly.
    You can get them in different lengths depending on what length you cut your wood.
    The ones I have work well on 14”-18” length.

    For those looking you might also look at these. There are a few companies that sell them but I think the Husky are the best ones. They for sure save you a lot of bending. To me they are about worth their weight in gold!
