Well, I hate to admit it, but I have been a satisfied "Load Handler" user for over 10 years....
[HR][/HR]With my Chevy K2500 semi-retired until rust work is completed to pass state inspection, the Deuce has been doing pick-up duty for almost a year. It's done very well at the task except when it comes to unloading mulch/stone. I tried my old LH 3000 on it and beside the fact the drag sheet was too narrow, it worked. So..., I super-sized the concept. I ordered (2) 50" x 15' Kevlar drag sheets, (2) 1.5" ID pedestal bearings, and (1) 1.5" heavy wall pipe. Some engineering and......... it actually worked. Pictured is one of two loads of brush from a fallen tree I hauled off to our local incinerator this past weekend. The load pictured although not very impressive around 600lbs, was unloaded in about 40 seconds. Seeing as though it took 2 of us almost two hours to load it, my brother and I were relieved to see that it worked! 
A couple scoops of mulch is the next test. It is surly not a dump bed (maybe someday I will have one), but it already was worth the time I put into it...
