    Ya wouldn't mind a little bit longer well! And yes that is indeed why I chain the bed, even if not required, gives me little more peace that unless something major happens it's not gonna raise up and take something out

    I try to load as dead center as I can, sometimes takes a while when doing it by yourself

    That's a heck of a neck I thought it was at least on 55 but probably a 60. The Etnyre I pulled was a 45 ton and it was flimsy, the do have a 55 now and he says it isn't to bad. I didn't have the high arch neck like that one, they bought a few that did while I was there I did like it better.

    I gotta just say, I enjoy talking to a lot of you guys on here in the HH section, I appreciate the insight you share. It's inspiring a lot of times.....
    With that being said....I'm gonna leave those loads with 16 plus 1/2" chains to the professionals LOL.
    Is it bad to admit that I might be getting lazy? I should have never got into to pulling a bottle, my work ethic is suffering!!!
     
    PeteyFixAll and passingthru69 Thank this.
