    Deuce tail roller and bed winch, skid loading setup

    You're a natural born genius. I men to horseback that whole set-up - and have it all work perfectly- is nothing short of pure genius. That is one great project you put together there; nice work. [thumbzup]

    Deuce tail roller and bed winch, skid loading setup

    No kidding that's a nice job. I mean that set-up is completely excellent; outstanding. I can't even imagine all the mental gymnastics it must have taken to figure the placement of all the components so that nothing gets tangled up in something else. Wow. That is a real fine piece of...

    That's a mighty clean cut; how did you make that, with a grinding wheel?

    Deuce tail roller and bed winch, skid loading setup

    I tell you what, if I had myself a metalworking shop with a milling machine like THAT, i think I'd be thinking in (heavy) steel for every problem I could find! That is one fine looking set-up. [thumbzup]

    Deuce tail roller and bed winch, skid loading setup

    No one I know about is holding a stop-watch to your progress. I agree with gimpyrobb. And that is some beautiful work you have put together there. Heavy gauge stuff and it all looks terrific. I sure don't have the know-how to tackle this kind of thing, but I wish I did. Thanks for the...

    As long as safety isn't compromised: - Using one thing that is designed for something else... Isn't always a bad idea. We did that all the time in the Seabees. The Plumbers and Electricians borrowed ideas from the Carpenters (BU's), vice versa and et cetera.

    God bless the luxury of making an easy change now, versus the nightmare of trying to do it later when everything is fixed in place (which just might rank as one of Murphy's absolute favorites, you know?).

    Deuce tail roller and bed winch, skid loading setup

    That's some serious stock. The work looks real clean, too; nice.

    Deuce tail roller and bed winch, skid loading setup

    Yeah, that would be bad; no two ways about it.

    Deuce tail roller and bed winch, skid loading setup

    That's a very wild tractor, sporting the two steerable axles; I'm liking that a lot.

    I hear you, but I think these rollers are rated for 3,000 lbs each (they're urethane, and nit just "rubber"). It was just a thought, Iwas figuring it might be a lot cheaper to spread two or three of these of-the-shelf items across the back than go the full-width roller route.
