It would be great to see a Free Body Diagram of your set-up. For all you non-engineering folks that is what FBD meant. My wife was right, while a country boy, I am still a nerdy engineer at heart.

Well caylor, sometimes for us, F = m a, just means ( <font color="red"> LETS GETTER DONE </font> ). If it breaks the first time, just make it bigger. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Overlapping the tarp sounds like a great idea, make it easier to start the load off. Man you can learn something on this site everyday, lot of great minds. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Sorry if I did something wrong /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I checked it right after my post and your post and it was OK. I promise I won't drive my tractor tonight at all, <font color="green"> (just work on the backhoe subframe) </font> /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

You didn't do anything wrong, I was just stating why the page was wide. Not drive your tractor for one night, /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif that's too harsh a punishment, maybe skip desert after supper tonight or something. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

No biggie. When using the URL Instant Markup feature there is a second entry (after you OK the URL) that will allow you to enter a name for your link. The name will show instead of the actual link /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I tried the overlapping of the unloader and it worked great, I put just one overlap about 1/4 of the way up from the rear, and then I put six buckets full of dirt in the wagon. When I unloaded, the rear section moved and then the rest of it came off. This way I can haul a bigger load and it's easier to start unloading. Next time I'll put about three overlaps and try that. Thanks for a great idea.

We had three trucks moving 6 inch rip rap. Two had dump bodies and one was a pickup with the Unloader in the back.

The pickup with the Unloader in the back moved as big a load and the trucks with the dump bodies. I was very surprised.

Those things really do work !!!

Each load was between 3,000 to 4,000 pounds,
and loads with the Unloader came off with ease.
