TO SEE 2010 ENTRIES PLEASE SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM, debbie

Winners of the 2009 Most Unique Use Contest

Well first I would like to thank everyone that entered the contest.  My staff and I had a great time reading all the stories and looking at the pictures.  I am also very proud that our product (the Cannonball Bale bed) is such a help to some many people.  This year it was actually quite easy to pick the 3 winners, because Terry, Casie and I just drew three names out of a big trunk.  Since we wanted the contest to be as fair as possible, when the entries came in we transferred the information on the backs of Cannonball business cards.  That way all entires looked the same.  Remember this year it wasn't the most unique or deserving just the luck of the draw.   We sent out letters and cards and included contest information with all new beds this past year.  Out of several thousand beds we received 275 entries. Ok, Ok I know get to the winners.  I drew the card for the toolbox.  And the lucky winner was Mr. Long out of Raleigh, NC.  He uses his Balebed in many ways but the use drawn was dragging the screens out of his irrigation pond to clear the mess that a bunch of frisky beavers keep making.  I hope you enjoy your Rawson Koeing  box.   Now Casie drew the grill guard winner and he hails from Kim Colorado.  His winning entry was for the Wild Cow hunt.  We haven't sent his guard yet because he just purchased one for the ranch truck, but as soon as he is ready his guard will be on the way.  Now we let Terry draw for the grand prize of a new LIMITED EDITION 2010 BALE BED. The lucky winner it Mr. Beck from Virginia.  As soon as he gets a pickup we will take his bed out for install. Look for pictures in the near future.  Thanks to everyone for making this such a GREAT contest.

•        Our buddies from Branson, CO sent in 3 entries with their entries.  They made  a platform to easiely lift 6 trash barrels at once.  Then he decided to try lifting his four wheelers.  The original idea was to load the protein tubs but it was so handy they use it for everything.  Sorry Guys I couldn't upload your pictures they were in an unavailable file.  Guess I'm not as computer savvy as I thought. Thanks  L . and A. for the entries ds

 Creative Stacking

• JM of Stratton CO writes me that in an effort to get more hay undercove, he stacks the rounds in an unconventional way.  The first bale is standing on end, with a second bale laying on its side stacked on top of the first.  JM changed his spinner design a little but he is now able to pick them up that way and move to feedig destinations.  Some are just dumped off and some are set down.  I don't know if he ever unrolls bales.  He also hauls big squares and just dumps them off.  This one made me think a little.  Thanks for the entry, ds

The everything bed!

•                 A good friend writes us that he uses his bed for everything.  Here goes: unrolling hay, unrolling straw for calving, changing front tractor tires, moving a refridgerator, hauling dead cows, loading irragation tires, transport cattle panels, moves grain augar in and our of the shed for easy placement, moves his round bale feeders,move bales from the field, pulled t-post, lifted fuel tanks on and off his pickup, loaded heavy tool boxes, hauled loads of keel rock, loaded 20 rail road ties. Whew!!!! that made me a little tired.  RK said he would sell any piece of equipment on the farm before he got rid of his Cannonball. 

Peace of Mind

Greeting from Kansas, and a big shout out to all the Cannonball Bale Bed enthusiasts out there!

First I would like to express my wholehearted thank you for all the support you have given Cannonball over these past 8 years. I think number 9 will be equally great. With that all said, let’s get on with the contest.

February 25, 2009

My first entry comes from Joel and Codi. Their entry is peace of mind. You see last year Joel was getting ready to deploy to Iraq, for the 3rd time, and he was worried about Codi caring for the cows once winter set in. The buckets and old bale spike were just too labor intensive. Joel did some research and decided that a Cannonball was the way to go. After arrangements were made they came up to Kingman for a factory install. And brought a thoughtful gift, a miniature cannon. Which of course, I love. Anyway, I am more than happy to report that last winter went well for Codi and the cows and Joel is HOME safe and sound. God didn’t only bless Joel with a safe tour but also blessed them with an upcoming baby. Let me know when little Emma arrives. Incidentally, Joel taught me a new phrase. “The Army definition for what a Cannonball bed brings "to the fight” is a COMBAT MULTIPLIER.                       

Cool. Thanks for the entry ds.

Shed Mover

Hello Cannonball Owners and wanna bees,

Well it’s been a little while since I’ve up dated with the new contest entries.  So here goes…

Our friend J. from St. James, MO sent in a really great photo showing his Cannonball Bed moving a storage shed. (a HUGE one, at that)  It appears to be 8’ wide x 15’ long and 15’ tall, judging from the size of the pickup.  He described how he propped up the front of the shed, and then backed the truck up until the arms were under the building.  He raised the arms and it slid the building forward onto the truck.

Cool!  The picture is awesome. Thanks, ds

 Professional fence builders

•       Dean, builds fence for a living. mainly barbed wire, pipe, and high-tensile woven wire.  He uses his Cannonball to  load and unload skid steer attachements, and T-post bundles.  He also needs to load welders, generators, air compressors, atv's and chains.  All necessary for building fence in remote areas.  They also hang extremely heavy gates and welded pipe frames.  He also likes the easy to hook up trailer feature that all our combo' beds feature.  I guess Dean, really likes his bed, he just had us outfit another truck with a Cannonball this Spring.  Dean told me "I've never hauled a bale yet, but use the arms and the dump feature for so many things I'd never buy another brand."  Thanks, for being a Cannonball Groupie. ds

 Transportation

•          A Cannonball owner in Stella, MO sent in cool photo's showing  the transportation of playground equipment.  He backed his pickup next to the tower section and raised up the bed.  Once up in the air he used straps secured around the tower and the bed.  When secured, he lowered the bed to driving postion, lifting the tower on to the bed in a prone position.  Easiely driving to the new location.  The same proceedure was reversed to set the tower in place.   I know your nieces and nephews were happy not to leave their fort behind at the old house.  Hey Scott thanks for the neat idea. ds

  Back Saver

•         My next entries belong to Darrian and Cole R. They tell me they use their bed for everything, but since I’ve probably seen the more common ones he sent only the more unique uses with pictures to boot. A Tractor loader bucket transporter, a mover for the Excavator bucket to and from job sites, electric wire spool unroller, bulk feed bin toter, fire wood unloader (back saver). However, my favorite is the photo of dumping 5 bales. That’s right folks 5, count them 5. Now granted they do have a LLWW bed and the bales are 4 footers.                                                                Humph! If I can figure out how to upload the photos I am definitely putting that one up. Thanks guys for all the great photo’s ds. 

Another Back Saving Picture from Cole

 Another back saver from Cole.  I really appreciate Cole's enthusiasm for our contest.  Way to go, brother! 

 And another back saving picture from Cole and Darrin.  Love the photo's guys and it certainly helps your chances in winning the NEW CANNONBALL BALE BED.......!!!!

Another Photo from Darrin and Cole.  thanks guys....ds

 Another back saving idea from Darrin and Cole.  Keep them coming guys..  ds

  In Upper Management We Trust

•          The Judy Ranch sent in the funniest letter. The stationary had a cartoon picture of the motliest crew you can imagine. The caption was “In Upper Management We Trust”. Anyway the letter was full of complements over our bed and service. But the best part was when he said, “I love my bale bed. We have 2 other brands and Cannonball is so much better words can’t describe.” Well… let me assure you that when you are ready for truck upgrades I am sure we can accommodate you with new Cannonball Bales beds to outfit your whole ranch. Even though his letter was not technically a contest entry I’m going to count it as one????? Their bed use is (best sucking up to management) well not exactly but they wrote such a flattering letter on the funny stationary that I included it as an entry.  Thanks for being such loyal customers. ds

 Stuck by the way

•     Mr. Limerick himself with a second entry.  It seems John got stuck while feeding in some slushy snow and mud.  He hooked a chain to a nearby tree and winched himself out three foot at a time.  Again the  poem only added to the reading of your Cannonball uses. Keep up the good work.  Thanks for the fun.

Stuck by the way by JM

While feeding my cattle on day, I found myself stuck by the way.

Shovel out was an option I had, but at my age the thought just seemed bad.

As I pondered just what to do, the law of physic's just seemed to be true.  

I had made a rod with a chain and a hook, that fit where the spinners do work.

With my arms all the way down, and an old tree still in the ground, 

I hooked a long chain to the tree, and to the arm as you see.

As I raised the arms and the chain became tight, my pickup moved backwards,

it worked out just right,  About 3 feet at a time, steadly backward gave peace of mind.  

I rehooked about twice and the results were quite nice.  

Unstuck at last I felt really good, my cannonball hay bed perfromed as it should.

Although I use my cannonball hay bed many times each day, this use I 

found helped me on my way.

  Easy trailer hookup

•         Next I received two entries from Bryan. His uses are: backing saving and easy trailer hookup. The first photo showed the back saving abilities of a Cannonball bed to transport “large” loads of firewood. The second photo demonstrated the relative ease in hooking up a gooseneck trailer without having to jack.                                             Thanks for the photo’s Bryan. ds

 Safari vs health spa

•             A ranching couple from Humansville, MO sent in two really fun entries.  They took mundan tasks and put a spin on the stories.  First A. explained how her use for their Cannonball was as a personal trainer.  Seems they have a lot of rocks strewn about the farm and are on an ever constant vigil picking them up and dumping them  in more appropriate places. A. loads the rocks on the bed, drives to the desirable location and dumps the load.  She explained how she loved "lifting weights".  The  pictures really tell the story on the rock situation in their part of the country. Great spin, loved your entry. ds
• Now her husband K. goes on safari, daily with his trusty Catahoula hound named Dog.  Even when K. tries to get Dog to  unload, Dog refuses to get off the bed of the truck nicely. Even if the bed is raised all the way up, to keep from sliding Dog just wedges his head into the cutout on the headache rack next to the louvers.  I really liked this entry too.  Good luck in the contest. ds

 Lifting weights at the free health spa!!!  Way to go sister, loved  your entry....

 The Hunt

•        Hey John from Kim CO.  “nice touch with the limericks!”  The pictures would have told the story quite well but the limericks were very enjoyable.  I’ve never had someone explain a deer hunt in quite the same way. I hope you don't mind but I think everyone else will enjoy it as much as we did here.  

The Hunt by JM

We left real early as the hunt did start.

Clear weather and good luck did play it's part.

The drive wasn't far and antisapation was high,

into the breaks where the deer get by. 

Good luck would be ours as the deer did appear,

both quite a ways none was too near.

With the hunt now over and the work to start,

no worries had I, for Cannonball did it's part.

Chained to the arms and lifted with ease, the

challenge of dressing and loading was truely a breeze.

I use my cannonball many times each day,

woudn't be without it, is what I can say.

a great unit to help me get by, I'm getting "older"

and  now you know why!

Thanks so much, for the enjoyable entry, ds

 Envy of the Neighborhood

•          Hey Jason of Deepwater MO, thanks for the nice complement about how nice we are to work  with, we never get tired of hearing that.  Jason sent in a few pictures of his bed, dumping fire wood, unloading his take off bed, stretching fence wire and pulling steel posts.  He said he was the envy of the neighborhood. I hope the neighbors aren’t wanting to borrow it too often. Thanks for the entry, ds

 Wood chipper buddy

•          Cole, from Huntsville, AR sent in another entry.  He extended his sideboards with wood sheets to accomodate shredded wood chips.  They had an ice storm pull through their area causing a lot of tree damage.  The opporunity presented itself to make a little extra money.  Cole hauled a wood chipper behind his truck for easy loading of the chips. Once the box was full it was so easy to unload the chips.  “Simply raise the bed”  
• Thanks for another great entry. ds

  Another pic of Jason's Envy of the Neighborhood shots.

 Wide Cow Hunt.

Our Buddies from Kim Co, recently sent in a unique use for their Cannonball bale bed.  It seems in some areas of the country things are rather vast and remote.  Cows can just become "wild"  Is that something like a farrow hog???? No probably not, since it's just their temperment that changes not actual genetics...  Well never the less the guys sent me in a very interesting letter about how the area is so rugged that stock trailers are out of the question and so are trucks most of the time.  They ride out on horseback and find the wild strays, rope and lead (gently of course) them back to a location that the Cannonball bed can be used to load the beast onto the truck bed where they can them be driven to the stock trailers for further transportation to the sale barn.  The guys assured me that no animals were hurt in this endevor, and neither were any cowboys.  Whew!!!!  I had to remember this story, because the letter was so popular around here that someone accidently took off with it.... Lucky for me I did have a copy of the pictures.  So thanks for sending in your entry...ds

 Road Kill Disposal

• Long time customer Jerry from Forgin, OK explained to me that he didn't think any of his uses were that unique. Well they might not be unique but still qualify for entry into the contest.  Jerry tells me that a number of deer wind up dead in his front yard. Hmmm?  The Cannonball arms work really well with a chain to dispose of any road kill.
• Jerry also uses this bed in the most traditional way.  Hauling and feeding hay. 

                                                 Thanks Jerry,   Debbie

 Enjoyable Lifestyle

• Loretta and Guy wrote me the nicest letter explaining how our Cannonball Bale bed has enabled them to continue farming well into their retirement years.  Loretta shared that Guy lost his right lung to cancer nine years ago and they have to do things different now.  "Congrates on the the 9 year bench mark Guy!"  She said the best thing they did was to buy a Cannonball bale bed.They use the bed to haul hay, dump gravel and have found that many other farm chores are much easier with a Cannonball.  Loretta says they bought the bed in 2007 and have used it every day.....

                                             Well, All I can say is thank you so much.....  Debbie

 Rental property renovations

• Friends from Liberal write that a rental unit that needed renovations had a tricky problem of an old fashioned clothes line set in concrete.  Well I would describe how Paul pulled the 4" steel post with 3 foot of concrete attached out of the ground but I to am surprised that we didn't get a call for a replacement arm or two.....  Glad it worked out well for you all.
• Besides "concrete work" they make use of their Cannonball bed in the care of a cow herd.
• Hauling loads of dirt and gravel is a breeze especially where a larger Dump truck just won't fit.

                                  Thanks guys for the entry,  good luck in the contest, Debbie

 Carcass Removal

• RB wrote in that he finds his Cannonball bed very helpful in hauling off dead animals.  By being able to lift them up onto the bed with the arms and then being able to dump them saves a lot of time and back breaking effort.  It also helps that you can limit the physical contact somewhat.
• He also uses his bed to lift equipment such as a sickle bar or hay cutter onto the trailer for repairs.

                             Thanks RB  good luck in the contest.  I hope you don't have too many dead animals to remove. ds

 4 Wheeler toter 

• LR tells us he uses his bed for all the traditional uses such as feeding hay, hauling brush, gravel and rock.  However , he loves the ease of loading his four wheeler.

                                thanks, LR good luck on the contest.

 Handier than a second Wife

• A local Cannonball bale bed owner writes that he thinks this unit is handier then a second wife, "you don't have to provide lunch"  Oh Dwane, you are going to be in so much trouble......
• He also thinks that the Cannonball bed is the "hefty one" the independent arm action and the big squeeze make handling hay and pulling post a breeze.  He tells us he doesn't know how he ever managed without it.

                                     Thanks Duane, good luck in the contest, Debbie

 Trash Hauling

Our friend from Raleigh, NC (Mr. HL) sent in several entries this one intrigued me.   A 30’ x 40’ raggedy cover was held in place by the Cannonball arms.  No ropes, no straps, no tie downs and no loss of trash on a 90 mile interstate commute.  Cool! Thanks for the entry, ds 

Sand Crawler relocations?

 Another entry from Raleigh, NC.  A monster sand conveyor relocated using the beds arms worked great to get under the trees and power lines.  Wonder why he told me not to tell the cops??? Ha ha! Thanks for the pics.

  Rail Road Tie Recycling

 Repair Job on crushed gate.

Mr. HL from Raleigh also described how one of his farm gates was crushed by a fallen tree.  We used the lift arms to pop the gate off the hinges  for replacement.  He commented that NO HUMAN could have done that.      

 Massive chunks of oak

HL sent in another great pic of his bed loading huge chunks of oak fire wood.  WOW!

 “Ginormous” bale feeder

Harold from Selfridge, ND sent is a couple of interesting photo’s with his entry into our contest.  The first had  a ginormous bale feeder squeezed between the arms for easy transport.  Sure looks cold there Harold.  The other photo was equally interesting in that he explained that they transported a propane motor to run the well where they water their cattle in the fall.  Burrrr!!!  It sure is cold up there isn’t it???? Thanks for the entry ds

 Newbie Owner

A new Cannonball Owner (Ken) only had his bed for 2 weeks. Ken sent in his entry and  mentioned that he didn’t know how he ever got along without a Cannonball.  He uses his to unroll bales, haul atv’s,  pull post, move protein tubs and oil drums.  But he likes the tilting bed to hook up his trailer maybe most of all.  Thanks for the entry. ds.

 A lot easier than using a shovel

Tina and Scott from Glasgow VA sent in several entries.  Scott said he bought his bed in 2009 and love it.  He wishes he would have bought it 2 years ago, but didn’t have the money.  Now wishes he would have bought it anyway.  COOL! Among the uses mentioned were: Hauling and unloading firewood, moving hay,  moving cattle panels, hauling the 4 wheeler, dumping gravel ( a lot easier than using a shovel!), hooking up and hauling the gooseneck trailer and last but not least feeding cattle..  He also gave us a really great compliment that the loves how easy it is to work the controls and did know how he did it before.  He tells his farmer buddies they need to buy a Cannonball bed and quit asking him to help with chores.  

 Elevate your hunting experience

JDW sent me an awesome set of photos from his deer hunting exploits.  See for yourself.  JD I think you missed your calling, maybe you could take up a career as an advertisement designer?   Thanks Debbie

 Loyal customer

Bob T from Humansville  bought one of our first beds back in 02 and in 09 bought a new one.  Thanks for be a loyal customer. He likes the easy to use controls and the quality workmanship of our units. He has many uses for his Bed.  From hauling wood, gravel, fence post, and hay.  He also uses the arms to set corner post. He mentioned that hooking and unhooking the gooseneck trailers was a breeze with the dump feature.   Thanks for the kind complement about recommending our unit to anyone contemplating the purchase of a bale bed.  Good luck in the contest.  Thanks ds

 Cold weather chores a snap

Steve T from Akron Co sent in his entry for the contest mentioning that he uses his bed to also pull steel post and move stock tanks and feeders where needed.  He loves the ease for stock trailer and water trailer hookup and the ability to haul bales every day during the winter months to feed his cattle.

Fire Fighting rig

Our Good Buddy and past contest winner Shon from Morrill entered some new entries.  Pull trailer out of ditch, oiler rig for cattle mounted in between arms for transport, haul windmill head to erection site.  He has an easy load spray tank full of water for grass fires???? He says he can be ready to fight a fire in about 2 minutes.  AWESOME!  He made a cool platform that loads easy and carries his welder, torch and air compressor.  Good luck thanks for the entry. Ds

 Flat tire repair on hay wagons

A brand new bed owner from Deerfield VA tells me he LOVES his Cannonball. The dump feature is tops to haul wood to his outdoor wood furnace.  Great for hauling gravel around gates and waterers .  He uses it to  build fence and load post. He’s used it to change a flat tire on a hay wagon and of course he feeds cattle.  He said he wouldn’t want to go without his Cannonball.  Cool!  Thanks for the entry, ds  

 Big timber

Tony S our friend from Richland OR sent in some cool photos of hauling some BIG timber.  We don’t have that type of log here in Kansas. Besides hauling logs he hauls lumber, firewood, fencing material.  I love the photos!  Thanks, ds

 Pulling a Cow out of the Pond

Our friends Charles and Betty Jo from Huntsville, AR sent in a whole slew of uses for their Bale bed.  They: carry and unroll hay, hang deer to skin, haul gravel, unroll barbed wire, as well as stretch wire.  They move calf cradles, move feeders, set corner post, change damaged tire on tractor, load the 4 wheelers, haul the occasional deceased animal and pull a cow out of the pond.  I can only imagine the sight.  The best part of the entries was when they mentioned how easy it is to LOAN the Cannonball to neighbors and friends. Cool!  Good luck, thanks for the entries. Ds

 Field dressing large game

A long time Cannonball owner and friend Mr. Dan D from Mullen, NE writes in and gave a very nice compliment saying, “My Cannonball bed has got to be one of the best investments on my ranching operation that I have made.”  Wow thanks!,  Dan of course, feeds and hauls hay. And he uses his bed in the operation of retrieving and field dressing buffalo and other wild game.  He explained that the bed takes all the back breaking lifting out of the job and keeps the animals clean and up off the ground to complete the work. Thanks for the entries, and good luck. Ds

 Tearing up Gates

Our friend  Bryan from GA told us a funny story.  Seems that he was delivering hay to some calves in a rented pasture that comes with its own horse.  Wow imagine that, you know the landlord’s kids, out of control no longer ridden, spoiled rotten kind of horse? Anyway, Bryan arrives at the gate with his young son in tow (safely strapped in the back in his car seat).  Bryan opens the gate and the cows crowd around but quickly follow him out and away from the entrance, where he unloads the first bale.  He looks over his shoulder in time to see the HORSE running down the road headed straight for the black top.  He jumps in the pickup and tears after him.  Unfortunately, he forgot to suck the bale bed arms in after unloading the first bale of hay.  You guessed it !  When he drove through the entrance one arm struck the gate and shot it straight up into the air with it landing against the truck. OUCH!  His little boy is just laughing the whole time because  Daddy is driving crazy and saying things that Mom just doesn’t say.  Bryan detaches the gate from his truck and pulls out on to the road in his zeal to head off the wayward horse he forgot to grasp the remaining bale on his bale bed.  Yep you guessed it!  As the truck speeds forward the bale rolls off backward and into the road.  Well I’m pretty sure Momma’s little boy sitting in the back got a great vocabulary lesson.  Once the horse was headed off and chased back into the pasture the gate was fastened across the entrance with the help of old barbed wire and finally the bale was retrieved from the road Bryan and little Bryan were on their way.  Wow, glad we don’t have a Free Pasture Horse!  Bryan also told me that he has hauled bark to fill in the kids playground area. Hmmmm? Wonder if Little Bryan might have been blackmailing Dad a little? Thanks for the entries.  Good luck on the contest. Ds

 All I want for Christmas is a Cannonball Bale Bed.

Our good buddy Mark from Kingston, MO wrote in that he uses his bed all day every day.  “Cool.”  He hauls hay and blades the driveway after dumping rock.  He feeds and moves hay.  He also gave a nice compliment saying “it’s Great.  I love it the best piece of equipment I’ve got…”  Thanks Mark for the kind words.  I did think it was funny that all you asked Santa for was a new Bale bed.  Did he bring one???? Ds

 Hauling a bunch of crap.

A good pal from Gate, OK writes in and sent pictures too.  Seems Troy D. uses his Bed for a manure hauler.  After cleaning calf pens they loaded the manure onto the bed it was stacked well above the headache rack but the weight was no problem for his Cannonball to dump.  Man that is a lot of crap!  No just kidding.  He also told us a story about how one of his other pickups broke down away from home.  See the inserted picture showing how his Cannonball Bed became a great tow truck.  Thanks, Troy for the entries.  Good luck. Ds

 Doctoring cows

Rick and Jeanne S from the good ole state of MO wrote in quite a list of uses.   They include: pulling t-post, moving ring feeders, hauling gravel, loading and relocating a small hay wagon, moving fuel tanks, changing flat tires, load and move lick tubs and mineral feeders.  I really liked the idea of filling large gaps when rounding up cattle.  They extend the arms out and it makes the truck another 6 feet longer. The used it as a modified squeeze chute.  They had a sic cow and she needed to be doctored right away.  So they roped her and tied off on the truck.  They had the arms out and down and slowly pulled her in between the arms and squeezed the arms to keep her from moving so much and they were able to treat her right there in the field. COOL  I also liked the story about the bull that tried to jump over a wooden corral fence.  He broke the top rail and got high centered on the second rail and was stuck.  SOMETHING had to be done.  So they tied a chain around the bulls chest and used one of the arms on the bed to lift him up and out of the corral.  It was their only option and it worked great.  I bet the bull wasn’t even thankful.  Thanks for the great entries. Good luck ds.

 Exceptional Work saver

 From the fine state of Montana Roger G. emailed me that his 10 year old Cannonball bed is still in service  and he still loves it.  He does everything from pulling posts, loading bulk bags and loading a 4 wheeler, feeding and hauling hay.  But what he loves best is: the individual arms.  He explained that he can pull into a bunch of hungry cows and spin a bale a ¼ turn and not have to move away from it.  He commented that is was an exceptional work saver and thanks for such a great product.  OH Thanks Roger, how kind.  Good luck with your entries. Ds

 Another fine Cannonball friend Burl from Newburg, MO sent in his entry and he had to use his balebed in a costly way.  They had a deep freeze quit working that was located in the garage and it was full of meat.  Needless to say nobody noticed in time and the meat spoiled.  It would have been an awful job to take the contents out by hand to move the freezer.  So he backed his Cannonball up to the freezer with arms extended squeezed then lifted the unit off the floor and drove straight to the dump.  Sorry about the loss of meat but glad that you were spared the smell.  Good luck Burl and thanks for the entry.
