Re: BX2200 My Second Disapointment!

Woodstock,

Get yourself a couple of 2x10 planks longer than the distance from the middle of your ramps to your front tires when the blower just begins to touch. Then set them up as step ramps to get the front end started up a little sooner. You might need to block the center of the planks if the bow under the weight too much. I have a flatbed tiltdeck truck that I have to do this on sometimes when loading a car if it is sitting too low.

Try backing up the trailer to a different area, where the {tractor loading} approach is actually higher for loading...

Of course, you'll have to do the same thing for unloading... just a little more fiddling to load and unload with certain implements...

This often happens with tractors. The Backhoes catch many contractors for the same reason just different ends. You might try a couple of boards under the front giving you a head start on your incline.

Re: BX2200 My Second Disapointment!

I was thinking about adding a trailer to my mess o' stuff. Something along the lines of a car hauler with sides so i could carry dirt also. Maybe even one that dumps....wishful thinking! I was wondering, does the B7500 with its higher stance lift the implements higher?

Re: BX2200 My Second Disapointment!

Jeff, I have a 16 ft. trailer that I made 6 ft. ramps for. I can get the lowest of cars on it with no problems. It does not dump and I did make sides for it to hual wood and mulch. I find it one of the best tools that I have.

Re: BX2200 My Second Disapointment!

Jeff there are several makes of dump trailers that come with ramps. They are normally called low profile and will do both jobs. You should be able to find one to carry your tractor without any trouble. Do not buy one that has the wheels under the deck as they have a steeper incline and will pose a problem loading and unloading.

Re: BX2200 My Second Disapointment!

I tried this with 30 inch pieces of 2X6 and it worked.
Now I have to decide if this will be the final solution. Seems a bit silly, $25K of tractor $3K trailer and the <font color=blue>Weakest Link </font color=blue> is a couple of pieces of 2X6 lumber.
