    I’d have lowered them if the hydraulic pump worked.

    You only had a short hop so it didn’t make much difference on that one. In the past I’ve loaded non-runner auction pieces and got them down to the height I wanted. You can take the pins out of the cylinders on the arms and lower them with a portable ratchet and strap.

    This is all I get to drag around not as interesting as most of the stuff here but still a flatbed.

    Do you just haul it or lay it as well?

    No I just pull it unstrap roll up the tarp and go back empty. This is a part time gig and this company only sells sod for golf courses.

    one of the worst jobs at the golf course is laying sod... hard and dirty freakin work and you gotta be quick with it. i always hated seeing that #### sod truck roll up, because that #### has to be on the ground fast or it dries out and dies before you can even get it off the pallet.. atleast in arizona
