Would like to hear how some of you guys load big melons. The tarps sold at P&P are high. Does anyone have any good ideas for safely lifting them.

those cheap blue tarps should work fine as long as you have the manpower to pick up the melon. we've lifted pumpkins over 500 pounds with those tarps. just get a good grip on it, and don't let it slip.

Blue tarp is what I use. I tied a golf ball on the ends to you have something to grab on to or a big knot, dont want the tarp to slip out of your hand..

I stopped into an army surplus store and bought a canvas body tarp with really nice handles. I double the tarp over and roll the melon on. Works like a charm.
