Default Loading ramps for my pickup.....
Finally got around to getting some loading ramps for my truck yesterday. makes it a lot easier to load tractors, snow blowers, motorcycles, just about anything.
They're really well made but you have to assemble them......took me 4 hours! over 80 little stove bolts and nuts, and a dozen big ones. My hands hurt today!
These are them folded up......on sale for 99$ from 199$ Merry Christmas to me!


Look sorta like this in use....same style, but mine fold to store easy.

Or you could go the cheap route like I did: Buy a house and 20 acres with a pasture that has an slightly elevated road, and just back up to the road. Tailgate is even with the road.

It works great when you're home but when you get to your destination you have to off load near a ditch. There isn't always a ditch handy.

Sooooo.....buying a different house and moving would be the cheap route?

I think I'll stick to 100 buck ramps I can use at the cottage or anywhere else I go.

I'm sure Harbored Fright must have portable ditches in stock?

Look, if you aren't finding a ditch every time you drive somewhere, you clearly are not drinking enough.
