the stress on what is on the reel, you want to unreel from the bottom.
it also lays better and doesn't try to climb out of the ditch.

A little humor-impaired today?

Indeed.

I don't plan to straddle the ditch with the forklift. For much
of the run, we'll be pulling duct off the reel and through the
woods, and laying it in the trench by hand.

A bigger PITA may be the HDPE pipe; it seems it does not come on
reels but in coils. I'm hoping I can put each on a empty reel of
some ilk...
Just stand the coil up,one foot on each side of the pipe and roll it
like a hoop in front of you. this works unless it is three inch pipe
in late October in a cold climate.
