Wooden Loading Ramp For Garden Tractors
 ✖  |
I built a wooden loading ramp on skids that lets me easily load garden tractors, rototillers, and other equipment into pickups. The ramp is about 10 ft. long and just a little wider than the pickup. To use it, I simply open the pickup tailgate and back up to the ramp. I do a lot of repair work on garden tractors for neighbors so it really comes in handy. I built it entirely out of 2 by 4 scrap lumber so it didn't cost much to build. Another advantage over commercial ramps is that I don't have to carry two separate pieces around all the time. It's also safer because it sets solid on the ground and there's nothing that can slip. The boards that form the ramp are spaced about 1 in. apart. There's a 2 by 4 running lengthwise down the middle so it'll hold a lot of weight.(Pete Peters, Box 166, Osler, Sask., Canada S0K 3A0 ph 306 239-2045)
