Tripod Set Up and Trailer is in Position

Notice the tripod feet have special larger footprint adaptors to help prevent them from sinking as the pumpkin is lifted. This is the first time using these and this simple addition made the lifting process much easier because in the past the tripod would be going down into the soil as weight was applied instead of the pumpkin going up.

With this set-up once the slack was taken out of the straps the pumpkin had a consistent lift which made the loading process more efficient and helps reduce the time the pumpkin spends suspended in the air.
