I have only seen one pickup crane in my life and it was mounted to the floor of a half ton, not my idea of strong. I am a farmer and have been going to auctions with hundreds of PU for the last 50 years. I guess we all have front loaders. I like to buy used stuff and often the seller has no facilities. Usually I take a tilt trailer and use a come-along to pull things onto the trailer but would rather just take the truck for 1000 lb items and load by myself.
