    We all know about the fifth wheel and it's main purpose but how about this one ? Do you know what the sixth wheel is ? and no it's not the sixth tire on the tractor.

    I watched a guy use one and at first I thought he had bought an expensive "gadget" ,but then he let me try it and I thought different then.It seemed a LOT easier to me(or maybe I just thought that because it was different).I don't know what they cost or anything,but they are kind of neat. Are they expensive?
