Only thing to worry about when going up the ramps is keeping the tractor centered on the deck and praying the cable does not snap.
Monday I am taking the trailer to get a 3 inch square tube welded all the way forward and on the deck, and a huge D ring welded to that.
I used a chain across the most forward stake pockets for the test and didn't like that. I tried hooking the cable off center on the right stake pocket, but the winch didn't want to spool up correctly. Thus a center mounted D ring. I could weld it myself.
But I can get a pro to do it for bartered 4x4s, and for this I don't want any weld failures. That is, I don't trust my welds with my life!
