I think that it may be easier unloading if you remove the rubber truck mat. The rubberized material creates friction against the unloader mat and is hard to move it.
I was typing a very similar comment when I noticed yours.
Those rubber mats are great for preventing things from sliding around your truck bed and the unloader is really counting on stuff sliding easily
Or cover the rubber with something much more slippery? Plastic with water and soap over it? Cut in a shape to cover the corners and maybe more soil will come out. And place a smaller thicker metal rod inside the thin wall rod before it breaks.
I told him while I was watching him put it together, but he wouldn't listen.
If you can't remove the rubber mat, maybe just cover it with cardboard. Anything to make it slide easier. I was trying to tell Sam also, he just wouldn't listen. Or maybe a tarp doubled up underneath the roll up part. The tarp might slide on itself much easier.
I agree
Perhaps a tarp under the unloader that can drape over the sides of truck will help with slick surface to slide plus easier final cleanup of bed to not waste as much material. Thank you for the video.
A neighbor of mine got one from Harbor Freight. He replaced that rod with a 1 inch piece of black pipe and cut some plywood skirts for the truck bed to help with the side spillage. Not sure how much use he ever got out of it. Now he just rents a dump bed trailer, so who knows.
Congrats on the 100k Sam and Angela. You deserve this so much. Hope your channel continues to grow. Hugs from Scotland.
What a cool idea. I don’t have a truck anymore but anything that helps can’t be all bad. So glad to see the 100k congrats. A horse apple aka poop
I remember back when those were an “as seen on tv” item. They were designed to be used with the hard plastic bed liners. They warned that if you had otherwise that you needed a slipper mat of plastic between the bed and the unloader.
A horse apple is a clump of horse manure. Good job everyone! Your beds look great! I know your garden is going to be awesome!
Take the rubber mat out it should work better! Beautiful raised bed, great job guy's!
Congratulations on reaching 100K subscribers!!! I thoroughly enjoy the bloopers/outtakes! Keep them coming, please! I enjoy the content, too! It’s just the laughing out loud that tops off the video with a cherry on top!
we called them road appples in indiana.
I'm impressed how your boys help out. Great job.
I bet that contraption will work better with mulch, which should be lighter. It did seem to lighten your workload and speed up the process. Congrats on 100K! Happy gardening!
Remove the rubber mat in your truck bed. Slide easier on the metal bed floor.
I watched another CZcams channel try the Harbor freight unloader with gravel and it was a failure. I am happy to hear that you felt it served your purpose on this project. Congratulations on your 100K growth.
I just absolutely love all your videos. I have watched you guys for a very long time and can't believe how fast those boys have grown. Your place is absolutely beautiful. I just love how you guys pick on each other ,it gives me the giggles. God Bless and keep em coming
picked up many horse apples and cow pies for the garden when I was young
congratulations on a hundred k. of subscribers. I think if you take the rubber mats out of the truck when you use your new tool, the rubber mat causes a lot of resistance. Oh by the way, that was just a clump of dirt. when i was a kid we referred them as a road apple. What you were talking about was Horse poop!
Congratulations on reaching 100 k subscribers, well done you both deserve all the good things 🇬🇧❤️❤️🇬🇧
The tool did very well! I looked it up, and very dry top soil is 1500 lbs up to 3,000 lbs depending on moisture per yard.
You are really good at explaining these interesting things. Thanks!
Congratulations on the 100k subscribers! Well-deserved recognition for your informative (and entertaining) videos!
I have used one of those unloaders on a hard poly (slick) bedliner and it worked much faster. I think friction with the rubber bed mat is part of your challenge. I also added a few pieces of scrap wood at the sides to prevent mulch falling off the sides of the tailgate, and that helped. Your garden beds are going to be awesome!
The instructions state that mats need to be removed before using this.
That worked better than I thought it would with that heavy load! I usually put a tarp under mine, it slides a lot easier but I haven’t tried that heavy of a load! Good job guys!
Heartiest congratulations Sam, Angela, and the cutest "feral" kids on You Tube, for topping 100K subscribers.
You deserve it!!
Congratulations on 100K. Great tractor work, Sam.
Congrats on 100k subscribers! This country girl definitely knows what horse apples are! Definitely DON'T eat! 🤣
My Load handler for over 20 years for my grandpa's Chevy Silverado truck 8' foot long bed as well as my Dodge Dakota Club Cab 6' half foot long bed. Working great moving gravel and buckets of sand and concrete blocks as well as the truck are not over loaded over 2 thousands pounds.
I always thought about attaching one of those to the foot of my bed with a motor activated by my alarm clock to be sure I get out of bed in the morning LOL
I just notice you have hundred thousand subs congratulations love this channel. That ball is animal poop 💩
Very interesting! One of our channel viewers referred us to your video after we just posted a video of unloading a bed full of mulch. Looks like it certainly saves some shoveling for $49!
Congratulations with the 100k, love the video's you guys make!!
Congratulations on the 100,000!!! Way to go and keep up the great work love your content.
Sam and Angela congratulations on 100k subscribers. Thanks for all your good videos.
I have had an unloader for years and never had any problems unloading anything, I’ve had a bed full of concrete and unloaded it with ease. Now when you first start to turn the bar you will have to really push to get it moving but once it starts moving it’s a piece of cake.
Ich gucke euch so gern zu, auch weil Eure Söhne oft so eifrig mitarbeiten. Ihr habt ein wirklich atemberaubend schönes Stück Land erworben.
Da muss die Arbeit einfach ein Erfolg werden.
I am so happy for you all. You are doing such a wonderful job transforming your property into an excellent homestead. I love every video you post. I have a question. Do you happen to know who does the guitar music you played while unloading the dirt? You also played it while Angela was driving the new tractor around. I love the music and would love to know who it was. Thanks 💕
Im pretty sure their music comes from Epic Sound off you tube. Otherwise, they'd get in trouble with YT for copyright infringement. Most YT's get their music from there.
Sam and Angela congratulations on the 100k subscribers ❤
The contraption worked fairly well. It seems it served its purpose.
The cargo unloader works great if you put a plastic bed liner in the truck and don't use the rubber bed mat. I used one for several years hauling rock , durt, and other stuff. You can even spread rock with it for a driveway
To answer you question regarding the mystery ball. I would suggest it is horse manure. When it was dropped in the streets by the horses that drew the delivery carts when I was a kid in the 1930/40s. We kids in London UK used to call them doughnuts and throw them at each other when playing in the streets. Lovely children.😃 When I worked in Brunei I used to use a small eating place and the waitress asked if I'd like to try a one hundred year old egg. It was in a ball. I tried it. After the meal I asked her what the covering on the egg was. She said "I'll have to ask my Dad, the chef." She came back and said " My Dad says it's horse s***." That is the way they used to preserve the eggs. Not today thank goodness. I like them with pickled ginger. Keep the videos coming. The boys are a great help.
Love this , I look forward to your videos. I have to sit with my 89 year old mother everyday and can't do much, so videos help pass the time. Keep them coming. Love them💖💖
U guys are so down to earth ! I appreciate that ! ❤❤❤
They are Road apples in Michigan. Since the Amish moved into Chippewa county we have lots of Road Apples now!!! Horse poopy!!
Congratulations sam and angela for the 100k you’r really deserve it , i’ve start watching the channel from one year now and never miss one video, i am from saudi arabia but i find your videos entertaining and educating , i learned so much from the channel , thank you guys for the smiles, the kind hearts , the postive energy , the laughters , the passion you put in your video and filming and work , thank you again Sam and angela, keep up the amazing contents ♥️
Put a plastic tarp down first. It will decrease the friction caused by your rubber truck bed mat or just remove the rubber mat. It is a good product that I use regularly. Good luck.
Congratulations on 100,000!! You have come a long way since I started watching you on the greenhouse build.
What do they say? An inch is as good as a mile?? I was a little concerned about the corner of the raised bed and your tractor wheel....l agree with Angela that it saved a ton of shoveling. And time. Your boys helping makes a difference too. Thanks for another great visit with us.
Best hubby ever
Congratulations on your 100k❤❤❤❤. Thank you for showing this product. My husband been wanting to try one. I thought they were be way more expensive even for a cheap one. Then wouldn’t work that well. You sold me. Thank you!!
Congratulations on 100K!! Absolutely LOVE your family videos! Highlight of my day!
Poop a doop. Glad to see that you got your boxes felled . Congrats on 100k Love your channel. Love that tractor driving !!!
3 cubic yards of dirt weighs about 3000lbs more if wet. Also remove rubber mat so your unloader has less friction.
Congratulations, that’s wonderful. Nice job on the garden beds. I see a lot of canning and freezing. Stay safe and God bless.
My soap’s came by
US postal . So very pleased.
Easy to order. Very very nicely packaged.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.🙏👍🌻
I did it in one person only jobs by myself dirt and gravel no problem with the heavy duty slide over everything over all the truck bed side overlapping each side of the truck without losing dirt and gravel and made very very sure to cover the bed really good tie down by laws .
It might not be the toughest dodad but sure looks great to have for a few projects! If doing daily for a job then maybe invest in a stronger version. Cool helper! The end of the video is the best part! 😜🤣
You put the brackets on backwards , look at the radius part , it goes towards the outside of the gate
Good afternoon Sam and Angela , let me wish you the same wonderful news that you have reached 100k subscribers by congratulating you on this . now you can go onto the next 100k !! I believe it will happen .
I have the original Load-Handlier and it give extra tarp to laying down on top of the rubber truck mats and rubberized undercoating truck bed to made it moved better . You should have used a regular heavyweight slick tarps on top of your truck bed before laying down the Hauler Tarp Loader crank handle.
I think you would be right. The weight of rock or 100% topsoil will bend the bar much sooner. Lite weight Items will work better. Or at least half load of the heavier items is probably recommended . Good luck on the garden.
We call them ROAD APPLES (Out West). Nice rounds balls of hay and poop manufactured by Hay Burners commonly called a HORSE.
I would call that "horse apple" "horse hockey" 😂
We called them Road Apples! We live in Iowa.
Congratulations on your one hundred thousand subscribers. Sam, that was some tricky maneuvering of the tractor👍👍
Here’s an idea to make it easier. Measure end of pipe and get a bolt that sized that will slide into the pipe. Put marks on the bolt where handle slots are. Drill hole in bolt. Put back in and slide bolt through hole you just drilled. And then you can use a drill with socket to turn pipe and pull cloth. Whatcha think Sam
Great video... your boy looks like a natural... willing and able to get his hands dirty !
Nice job !
Sam - $50 to save your backs ? A worthwhile investment!!!
Besides, if it breaks , you could manufacture your own - a piece of pipe and a tooled crank space - if anyone can do that - ITS SAM, Da Man !! ❤
Sam, to help alleviate the unloader tube distortion find a piece of pipe that has an internal dimension that is just a little larger in diameter than the unloader tube's outside diameter. Cut it an inch or so longer than the unloader tarp width, then grind a midline the whole length of the pipe, all of the way through to the center of the pipe. Make sure to file smooth all sharp points and edges.Unroll the tarp, and slide the pipe over the tube with the tarp fitting through the ground slice in the pipe. Use the inner ring locks to keep the pipe in place. This will keep the unloader tube from distorting so much. | For the crank end of the loader tube... take a piece of slotted pipe that is an inch or an inch and a half in length and drill a hole all of the way through the pipe ninety degrees (perpendicular) to the ground slot. Slide the slotted pipe over the tubing a align the drilled holes in the pipe to the crank handle slots in the loader tube. A snug fit is required here, if needed, use a c-clamp to close the pipe to the unloader tube, weld or braise in place.
Horse manure.
@@juanitakauffman6336, I don't know what your life experiences have been, but I have had over thirty years of experience in industrial machines and support equipment. (installation, maintenance, repair, and modification) I have successfully modified multiple pieces of industrial equipment to perform tasks that they were never designed to complete. I can't swear on a stack of Bibles or anything, but I do believe this will work.
The large, wrinkled, inedible fruit of the American tree Maclura pomifera !
I NEVER need instructions. Unless it doesn't work or breaks on first use. Then I read them 👍😆
What can you use horse apples for?
The hedge apples, also called hedge balls, Osage oranges, horse apples and even monkey balls, are promoted as a spider and roach repellent.
A 'horse apple' is a piece of horse manure which is frim - not runny & smelly like cow manure. For 3 years I cleaned 3 horse stalls AM & PM so our 2 daughters could practice their weekly dressage lessons. One of those daughters now has 3 raised beds similar to yours but lives in the suburbs so had to have them & a cube of soil delivered. The other daughter has more land & raises a few goats & chickens plus tomatoes in big pots like your blueberries.
I've had mine from HF for 10+ years and it finally crapped out last week when using it for 2 500lbs hay bales. It has served it pourpose and saved my back!!
Hello this is John I held one of them and I loved it. The best thing in your situation would be a plastic. Underneath underneath so it will slide easier. Such as a plastic bed liner.
Someone said if I comment on the video that I will assure my subscription, so 👋🏼, and thanks for the great channel
I'm an old lady but I would have backed the truck up to the beds and shovel it in. Good luck. Love your videos
I put a Costco tarp under the unloader blanket first. Make sure it is about 6 inches from the tailgate. Lay extra tarp over sides to wrap over load. I use a harbor freight netting to secure folded tarp to drive at highway speeds. Pull nut off oneside only. Open the tarp and then unload. Repeat.
I was a bit concerned about your tailgate being dented. I would have put my wheelbarrows under each side to catch spillage from sides. Then you only had in front to get up off ground. I am also wondering about how y'all are going to deal with harvesting & support the plants? Those plants should get tall (some). You have my attention. Congrats on the 100K. Looking forward to more great videos.
I'll be looking forward to a follow-up video in which you show us your crank redesign that allows you to go around and around without stopping to put the crank in and out of a slot.
We found that if you place a tarp under the fabric before you load it up helps it slide much better across the truck bed.
We're still having freezing overnight temps!!
Some ideas maybe to help the unloader...
* for when you drop the tailgate, make some triangle pieces to put on the ends to minimize the fallout as you roll it forward (from outside edge of tailgate to top of bed)
* create a longer piece for your hands to fit on to run the crank
* parklet gravity help you - park the truck on a slight hill with the front of the truck pointed UP the hill
* if the bar of the crank seems a bit flimsy, weld or screw a flat metal piece to its length to fortify it
Use a tarp it would do the trick too 🥰 👍
So have one of these that I use for triple ground mulch and sometimes garden mix soil. To me it looks like you have an 8 foot bed so there's a lot of material locking your load in front of the wheel wells. 2 two foot wide pieces of plywood along the sidewall of bed would greatly increase the ease of unloading. I have the same rubber mat in my 07 ext cab Silverado and I haven't had any problems as long as in front of the there is no material.
I will say this though. Either the guys at the place I get my mulch are generous or you are getting ripped off because that was a very light looking one yard bucket load.
Just did this today! Put 5 gallon buckets on the edges and had very little issues with soil loss. Just emptied them as needed. Definitely worth the investment.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO REACH A MILLION I'M HERE FOR IT GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY 🥰
Congratulations on 100k

I appears the weak point on these is the end where the crank handle go thru the hollow rod. They have been known to break out the hole there if used on a larger heavy load. I have since built mine up with a thicker piece of tubing over the stock tube to beef up the strength of it.
In my opinion, next time put a tarp underneath so it will catch the mulch. Before the tarp gets too full and heavy, with Elijah carry it over to the bed and dump it.
*TIP*
Place a tarp in the bed, THEN roll out the unloader fabric on top (make sure it is on top of the tarp) before filling with material.The unloader fabric rolls off MOST of the material, but no one likes having compost/stone/chips filling into all of the nooks of a truck rear gate/corners.
Cool, made it easier on yas. Congratulations on 100K Yay!!! So happy for yas. Glad to be a part of the original dub digit subbies.
May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and gardening
I have never seen one of these work as advertised, like Angela said is the only way I got them to work
A chunk of horse manure. We used to call them road apples when left behind after parades.
Love the out takes!!
100k YAY! So glad to see that! Love your videos!
needs a bigger roller , but when it bends, clearly exceeding it limits. but, better than shoveling.
If you put a tarp down on the bed under the unloader it will catch everything that falls off and make it easier to crank
Sam I was talking to a man about those and he was telling me if you put a sheet of shiny type vinyl sheet flooring in the bottom of the bed of your truck, them spread that loader sheet out and crank it, it slides so much better, I believe they used to be called loadhandler! Or ez loadhandler I always wanted one! 🏡💒🙏✝️🦌❤️😆🌹
Vinyl flooring (linoleum type) sheet makes it slide easier when your trying to unload a load!
I have one of these unloaders and I love it.
I got to see this 😮, well I'm going to buy me one and try it out guy's thanks for the video ❤
Had one of those when I was a younger guy? Loved it.
