    I have known 90 pound gals that can and did run flatbed, it is not hard, nor is it rocket science, BUT if you have been on the road less than a week and already tired of leaving home, no need to even try.to over come it.

    No. I am serious. I had to use that about 3 weeks because of injury on my left ribs.

    I saw a old man with about 5 feet long winch bar

    I would not suggest two bars used in conjunction, or any extension, you can buy a proper longer bar.
    My ex son in law drove for me and pulled flatbed, he was tiny. I'm talking 5 foot nothing, but had no trouble getting straps tight.
    NOW it was downright scary watching him tighten a snap binder that was up on thetrailer,
    He would get the bar right and jump off the trailer to snap it. I kept telling him, I didn't want to hear any whining when it was too tight and shot him right back over the trailer. lol
