    Dang I got to see what I can come up with.. There was just no good way to get the wood blocks high enough to lessen the angle. Felt like I was gonna rollover backwards if I let off the throttle so I just sent er til she dropped. Have to try out something smoother for unloading

    There is a 2” strap diagonally across both back pallets. Thought about a chain but did isn’t know if I could get one around the square blue stone slabs without damaging the edges.

    Turn it around and load it backwards. The counter weight won’t fight you so bad.

    Try carrying a couple car tires with you when you are going to load a skiddy to ease the landing.
    Also a "cheap" arched style pickup ramp kit can be a great way to ease the angle and relax the drop.
    Just remember to tie them down for loading and unloading. Screenshot_20220525-160003.png
