    78D03231-C2DB-45A2-877C-7A9FE473BA3E.jpeg Hi,

    Will this work if I take the blade off for when I go to do belly straps? I’m not really sure how this works, but I don’t have a painters pole, just this attachment and a long pole after I take off the attachment on it that’s made for picking pears, apples, etc off of high limbs (like a basket).

    Best regards, John

    Yes it will. I use a 5th wheel puller.

    It will work better than what you have now for sure (Nothing?).

    You could also go to the hardware store and get a pvc T fitting that will fit on the end of that pole... use it for both edge protectors and pushing straps...

    I will post a picture later of mine...

    The PVC would be less than $1

    So you’re aware of my WE budget huh hehe I’m glad I don’t have any kids or a girlfriend; on top of being a new driver and still learning the ropes in flatbed I’m only getting paid 32 cents a mile and even though I do my shopping at Walmart now on my decent paychecks ($600) I’m averaging about $100 a week in profits; credit card bill, phone bill, food/supplies, citation I got during training, etc

    I used a 1x8 board, hook the strap to the board, slide it through.
    When not in use it was on top of my boards under dollies.

    Take a piece of rebar and bend back one end. Cheap, easy to carry, light to work with, and if you lose it you haven't lost much.

    Swing by Ohio..have them route you here.. got all that in my barn, man. Dang................. THE WHEREWITHAL you HAVE .. it's what's gonna make you.

    The 'last' "kiddo" that I tried to sponsor (in a way) fell flat..and so did I. @Mike2633 .. tell him.

    Crap about the citation. I missed that because you have like 82 threads and I can't find 'em all...at fifty some'ot, haha! (<< but not?!?)

    Here's your 'fox' song, bro. PM me if ya think there's more I can do; I'm actually quite impressed that at 21 you are out here, doing this. Yessir. ;)
