The Right Way to Load a Lawn Tractor on a Truck

[@dakotakelly9371]

The best thing to do when unloading is completely let off the gas pedel if your on a mower with a hyrostatic trans. The trans will limit the speed when going down and you won’t loose control. If your on a mower with a manuel trans put it in the lowest gear and completely let off the clutch, once again the trans will brake its self when going down and you won’t loose control

[@TheSniffher]

run the front tires of your truck up on a set of them car ramps, it puts the bed at angle and lowers your tailgate things go way easier that way....

[@EstesRanch]

Good job. You could also use two sets of ramps, this would lengthen the angle

[@timemachineeddie1146]

The Hell with those ramps. It does not look safe. What I do is to find the bottom of the driveway and put my back tires in the little cement rain water runoff. That way the truck tailgate is really low to the ground. Then have a buddy help you lift up the tractor onto the bed and roll it in. Just a thought. You are my Hero.

[@aeyb701]

My old Ford 8N manual said to back the tractor up the incline so as not to upend it by driving it forward, since the centre of gravity is toward the rear axle. Not only that but letting out the clutch in the forward direction tends to raise the front, where in reverse it does the opposite.

Trailer for anything you have to drive on ...Ramps ok for walk behind mowers or snowblower ect

[@johnklumpp7901]

Whether loading a motorcycle on a single ramp, or a RideOn Mower with twin ramps; I prefer to locate the axle & wheels of truck (or trailer) in a depressed position (such as a trench, drain, or street gutter) so as to lower the rear edge where ramp attaches. Did just THIS first back in 1974 with my initial hardwood plank ramp (with steel lip), with sloping driveway and half-ton Honda TN360 kei truck's rear wheels located in street gutter. Good call on using ramp securing straps - the ramp/s should have firm connection with load-carrying deck.

Yes absolutely. Give yourself an edge whenever possible. Also idle down the engine and let it brake in reverse going down. Coasting down looks like a really bad idea.

[@Campfirelarryfan]

Woah! This is different

[@patrickflohe7427]

For starters, put the front wheels of the truck on a good set of car ramps, & your angle will be so much better.

[@RainyJo715]

Well, I say go with whichever you’re most comfortable with, because we use both at the same time. With the ramps for the truck and a trailer to haul the 4-wheeler’s and dirt bike, or 3 wheeler. I personally don’t load anything up the ramps, because that freaks me out, but I can do the trailer easily. Ramps are cheaper, but I do like the trailer better. You’re a good son, Rick.

[@tonibaggett9301]

you should back it on. ive seen them flip over doing that very thing. its like if you are gonna attempt to pull stumps or , whatever , with a tractor. you run your chain under the tractor and hook it to the frontend or pull in reverse.

[@bobjmanz]

NOT a good idea unless you want to flip the tractor over and land on the driveway with the tractor on top of you. You should ALWAYS back it up when loading and drive it down when unloading. If not; the center of gravity can cause the tractor to flip over on top of you.

I have a set of Harbor Freight folding arched ATV ramps rated at 1400 lbs that are 7 ft long. They work well for higher 4x4 pickups, but you have to make sure your mowing deck is at the highest level before loading the mower...

Trailer!! I bought a trailer at Home Depot over 10yrs ago and still working great. The size is 4.5x8 tilt trailer which can expand to 12feet long. You can move the axle for different configurations. Since owner it I’ve upgraded the lights to led’s, bigger tires and put in a new floor. The initial price was around $900. You can use this more than hauling the tractor but other projects that you don’t want in your truck. Good luck and be SAFE!!!

[@RickMammana]

Thanks, I'm still thinking about getting one.

[@SteelyPaw]

I think you should of back up the ramps, then come back down front ways. I use a low boy to haul my kayak and riding mower around. Tags for a trailer are cheap, you get a 10 foot long bed even on a single axle, and you can put it with any SUV or Pick-up -truck that has a towing package. If you two with out the package the rear gears get damaged easy. The oil coolers for the transmission and engine are a big over kill unless you are going to plow or really pull a lot of weight. I can pull 5800 safely with my 97 Jeep Cherokee Sport Heavy Duty. My trailer is well made and weighs a ton all on it's own. Another trick to loading and off loading is try to find a embankment so the rams are not so steep. Other than that good job....

Running your engine at full throttle just for a few moments can actually stress your mower, especially when starting it up. Starting it up on full throttle is one of the worst things you can do to your mower. Along with shutting the engine off on full throttle.
