Back when I drove a truck daily...a 89' f350, I used 10' 2x12's, with 9' of 2x12's bolted underneath with 6" overhang on each end. It held the weight of my Roper RT16 like nothing. But, the deck did have to come off...it wouldn't fit between the humps.

One thing nobody mentioned is pinning your ramps to the truck somehow..... It is very easy to catch the deck on the end of a ramp while unloading, and instant NO RAMP! Just did this last week trying to unload my 1200 from my fairly low trailer using wooden ramps made with the aluminum ramp parts ends.
The ramp ends have holes in them for a pin, which goes into the truck or trailer body thru a hole you must drill once you figure out where the ramps need to be. If you have a trailer with a lip, and a matching lip on your ramp that is another way to accomplish the same thing. Trust me, balancing a quietline on one ramp is not a fun thing by yourself....it is a great way to get hurt.

I had a ramp fall off of a trailer while I was unloading a 1450 I used to own. I was lucky both came off so I didn't roll it over, but it bounced pretty good on the rears, and I'm pretty sure I had to pay a visit to the chiropractor shortly after. The ramps got modified to catch on the trailer so that'll never happen again...

Just know that if one of the ramps gives....breaks.....it will flip the tractor upside down and kill you, this has happened.

Thats what I said. My trailer is only 11 or 12 inchs high so even if somthing did go south I dont think she could flop. Craigslist is loaded with $300 trailers most peoples lives are worth more than than that. Play it safe!

one of the most important things with loading/unloading on/off a truck is to go a slow even pace...use creeper if you have it, and don't brake it, going on, or off.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
