[AT] Chore day with the Super M

[charlie hill]

Greg you are right about the danger of hauling heavy items loose
but I assure you, if I haul and and I probably won't, they will be
somehow contained and fastened down in the bed of the truck
and I won't be overloaded.  That's why I said a few hundred pounds
as in 2, 3 or 4 hundred, which is well under the hauling capability
of my pickup.   I keep ratchet straps in the back of my truck at all times
and usually some other rigging stuff.   The bed has slots for bank boards
to fit across the bed in the front and rear.

Here in Michigans thumb we have lots of rocks. My brother has a 
mechanical rock picker and a couple of days ago he finished a 3 and a 
half acre chunk. He picked over 30 ton off of it. Last year, before he 
plowed it he picked another 30 ton off of it for over 60 ton. If he 
plows it next year, I bet he will get at least 15 ton. I have one 20 
acre field which when I work it at least one tractor tire will be on a 
rock at any given time. When you talk about hauling rocks back home I 
start to shake. Some years ago a city family loaded about a ton of rocks 
into their van to take home. While on the highway, a car on a gravel 
road slid on some gravelstones and stopped about a foot into the 
highway. The van swerved around the car, but due to being overloaded it 
rolled a couple of times. A family of 4 were all killed; beat to death 
by all the rocks in their van. Who was it that said you can't fix stupid?
