Slab Jack

I saw someone pull up alongside a bundle, cut the ties, lay some slabs on the ground, and then back up closely to the bundle.  Intrigued, I asked about how he intended to load the bundle and he was kind enough to explain and allowed me to take pictures.  He has a beam running across the truck for support, and he can lift a couple slabs at a time.  He intends to use an electric winch in the near future.  It took him quite a while to load the bundle, but without his slab jack he would not have been able to do this at all.

Truck Topper Box

This is an interesting substitute truck topper that an elderly man showed me.  He did not want to purchase a truck topper, but he needed a way to haul various items (mostly feed) without them getting wet so he made this box.  Whenever he needs to haul larger items he simply removes the box.
