    Loading rollers

    Rollers! I run a rollback and a beavertail (rollback=wood deck Beavertail= all steel) when its wet all i can do for the rollback is winch and make sure to keep the cable on untill you unload! For the Beavertail old fire hoses seem to work the best i think because of the cloth covering.
