Tractor ramps

This is just like the old coffee shop, which was like the old coffee shop down the street. Pull up a chair, sit down and enjoy some good discussions. Please, no political, religious or racial posts.

Tractor ramps

Post by dag1450 »

duke.....this is for u brother! Made these a couple years ago. I have lots of things to lift the front end with....but i could not find an easy or safe way to do it. I did not want to jack on the mule/ undercarrage....if u try to lift with a strap the front end nose is in the way...or the side tins. Everything had a big downside to it, so i put on my thinkin cap.lol The ramps r "pinned" on to the box with 2 bolts that slide into holes. Then the ramps just lift off.

Very nice.I like how you can take the ramp out of your way :beer:
My car ramps work good but they do get in the way for easy cleaning.
I have been thinking about making a permanent gt ramp that lets all 4 tires of the ground.But i have been planing this a couple years now :?

You got a new quit line?
I will have to find that post.I dont have much time this time of year to follow :(

How do you keep the tractor from rolling off the ramps? Chocks?

To chock or not to chock....that is the question? :lol: Well adam.....I push on the brake peddle and lock the peddle in the "on" position! Sometimes i chock.....if i remember. I do not get back on the tractor to bring it down as it is kinda hard to do that on that angle. I do a controlled roll back down holding the brake peddle.... i dont want to start the engine till oil is back on the level. Dave :beer:
