Has anyone used this or seen it in action? Could work for manure is what I'm thinking. Thanks Kelly

Kelly a friend here has one and has used it for 4 years. Lots of manure, wood chips, fill, and gravel have gone over it. I admit I was pretty amazed how well it worked when I borrowed the truck for a few loads of manure a couple years ago. Go with the 3,000# unit...

I have hauled many loads with mine and it is worth every penny. They should sell a slick sided mat with it that I would highly recomend also. I cut a couple pieces of old plywood and put along the wheel wells the length of the bed to keep the manure and such from jamming up in the corners.

I bought one at farm and fleet once and it was junk. I think it was a cheep version so maybe if you get the more expensive one you will be ok like these guys.

Kelly can you email me? [email protected]

I have the heavy duty Load Handler as well. AMAZING how well it works. I can actually clear the bed of the truck faster with the load handler than using a dump trailer. Can easily unload 4 yards of manure or a couple yards of gravel or ... Amazed several contractors at how easy it was. The thing is AWESOME! I got mine from a retailer on Ebay for slightly less than Harbor Freight. Email the seller and ask him to beat the HF price.

what's the weight limit on one of these? i thought for sure there would be no way it would handle 2.5 yards of wet sloppy manure.

i bought a real early version many years ago.
the bedding material rolls out from a unit that straps onto the tail gate.
there is a handle to hand crank the load to exit the rear of the truck
worked ok with light loads but tough cranking with anything heavy or wet.usually had to shivel half off first.
id still use it in a pinch
