Re: pumpkin transport ?
I transported a 570 pounder over 300 miles on a trailer
and had no problems at all. I took 2 rachet tie downs
and put them over the pumpkin with padding and put the
pumpkin on a padded pallet. you need to make sure that
it is pretty tight so the pumpkin does not bounce off
the trailer.
