do I need a trailer?

Does anybody load a self propelled walk behind grinder onto a tranny using loading ramps? Just seems unsafe but much cheaper than a trailer

Used to do it at a different firm only fell off once gave me the willies a bit but was more worries about the grinder.

 

Make of that what you will.

very long alloy ramps that you can store over the head board would make it safer.

Used to do it all the time, just make sure you have suitable ramps. Ours had a bit of extra metal that slotted between the buck and the tail gate so they couldnt slip off.

I used to load an old Dosko this way and it was a bit hairy it got better with the magnetic clutch conversion.

I load my Rayco 1625 on my tranny when I have to, trick is use decent ramps and tip the bed a bit to lessen the angle from the ramp onto the bed, plus point the tranny downhill where possible when loading.

Years ago I loaded our unimog onto a large lorry we had on hire using pallets. The last 2 ft involved full throttle and about 30 broken pallets nearly the most stupid thing I have done so far. My brother filmed it using his phone but too:blushing: to put it up.
