Hi, my name is Sarah, last year we put on Our first contest, there is a lot I do not know. I have a pallet scale. How do we get pumpkins on and off. Any other tips and hits would be greatly appreciated.

Post this to the General Board to get more answers. We use a Pumpkin lifting ring and a fork lift.

Hi Sarah!This is the field pumpkin forum.most people use a tarp & roll field pumpkins on to tarp and 2 guys grab the corners & lift it up.The big kins are usually picked up with a steel ring & cargo strap lifting device that sell for around 100$ & up.You need a fork lift or back hoe or such to operate a lifting ring at a weigh off.
