Handy Devices

Looking for a better way to handle 250-pound protein tubs, Lee Neely, Holcomb, Mississippi, built a sled that can be connected to the ball hitch of his ATV or truck. He built the sled frame out of scrap metal. The tub rides on old conveyor belting connected to the frame. Chain or cable works as a tow strap and includes a loop that fits easily over the hitch ball. Inventor tip: Neely fashioned triangular points for the front of the sled for easier towing over rough ground.
