Something that doesn't move around or fly forward for one. I use a couple of railroad ties, one on each side length front to back, butted up against the front of the bed. I use them for fence posts, so are most definately useable. Years back I made the mistake of using a couple of iron big block chevy heads that weighed a lot back at the tailgate, not fixed, just setting. They always did ok until one day I had to jam on the breaks hard. They came sliding the length of the bed like rockets and hit the front of the bed so hard, that they tore it from the bed bottom, bending it out of shape and pushing against the back of the cab, and next thing you know, my pickup started wheel hopping forward a few steps because the hit was so vicious. That was one very hard hit that got my attention, and screwed up a perfect bed until then. If you are going to use something physically big or fasten it down, keep it against the front of the bed at the back of the cab...not against the tailgate where it can and will fly forward at some point. I learned my lesson, so a couple of railroad ties, one each side, front to back, against the front of the bed. They don't move and weigh balanced across the axle.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
