Thanks Ed, I'm not sure yet which blocking device I will use , but I have certainly found some great thoughts and designs to take off from. Most helpful. The cautions I have received from you and from other Bolters are experienced reminders of the thought process one must go through when handling this equipment, and they are all certainly welcomed and appreciated. The remaining question in my mind is the gravity vs power lowering that John and others have spoken to. I'm still not sure which one mine is. When I'm pushing forward on the bed actuator lever, it does come down, engine speed does not change appreciably that I can notice, but I'm still not sure. Guess I will have to have someone watch the PTO driveline to see if its turning when lowering? That question seems really important when lowering the bed back down to engage a blocking device, so no harm comes to the system.
