Ramp recommendations

Plastic ramps will get it done for ya.

Drive up the ramps till the tires hit that 7” height difference, lift front axle with the loader, and drive up. You can put down chunks of 2x4 on the trailer deck where you’ll be sliding the loader if you’re worried about keeping it pristine.

Driving up using the loader to get the front tires in place would work, but unloading presents a new problem. You're dropping off that 7"....might be fun!

However, none of this talk about “trailer loading” would be complete without a visit from “our Boy"

With the size of the rear tires, the drop would be negligible by the time they cam over and drop to the ramps.

Yeah, boy!!

Looks like he's just using the expanded metal mesh on a frame foldsup ramp to load that thing. The type of ramp I wouldn't think would be for more than an ATV or mower....

If your willing to bump up the plastic with 2X's just build the whole ramp out of 2X12's . . .

That the same video I posted here earlier ...

I thought about it, but by then it'd be pretty heavy. Half plastic and half wood would be a little more manageable.

Yeah, it wasn't the 1st time. I just hadn't noticed the ramp he was using when I saw it before.

Thats the same type of ramp that I have been using for my 2501 for the past 5’ish years.

So far, so good!!!

However, I would have added a "Double Arabian" to my dismount (you know…to impress the judges)

I don’t trust plastic ramps… and store-bought-ramps are too steep for the air-dam on many cars these days (such as the wife’s Toyota)…. So I built my own…very simple, out of left-over 2 X 8’’s and deck-screws…
(and a worn-out boat-winch-strap):

Nice. That is something I can work with. Much appreciated.
