I went to the website discount ramps found this same one 9’ x 17-1/2 black widow aluminum, this same one costs 574$. Wow that’s not cheap but I’m sure it must be a fantastic ramp.
A couple bars between them would really help keeping them from moving too much. One on the bottom and one on the top. And maybe even one in the middle.
You know some legs under there would be a really nice add on. To relieve some weight off or the tail gate. Even if they are 1 or 2 inches off the ground they would prevent some serious injury in case the tailgate breaks. A 2 inch fall is much better than 3 feet.
This mower weighs around 600lbs. I’ve loaded this amount of weight before on the tailgate without any problems. I should check the cables and make sure they aren’t rusty. Any more weight than this I probably would take the tailgate off before loading
Could you try and put the ramps real close together and see how much room you have and try to strap it to the hitch again. I'm thinking about getting a similar toro 42.
Cool story: I needed new tires (10 ply rated E) , the stores were out of control with their prices. I searched on Facefuck marketplace. I found a young guy that just purchased a bran-new 3500 dually Cummings turbo diesel. He took off these stock rims with the stock tires and sold them to me for the price of two new tires!!!
@@oxford821 _Wow nice find lol marketplace has some deals in they you just gotta search can't be lazy👍the stocks&tires look good they'd go for $3k to the lowest where I'm at😐_
@@oxford821 how are those ramps holding up for you? I’m putting together a repair business for mowers and I’m looking for a quick simple way to pick up mowers from customers. This eliminates trailers which I use now.
@@oxford821 no, there are too many ways to go wrong backing in. Wet tires slipping, power.... You get the most power driving forward and it's makes sense to use less power backing out.
You've probably never had a ramp kick out on you. You'll take the couple minutes to apply the ratchet straps once that happens to you one time. Granted, it may never happen with a zero turn because of the smooth wheels and limited power, but I've seen it happen with 4-wheelers a lot. Strap it up buck!
