    "Fat" Ramps MJ... Nice.
    How well are they sprung?
    They look heavy!!
    Suppose they're probably lighter than the ramps on a 20 ton tag equipment trailer...
    The double hinge is very important also, really helps on uneven ground and is what allows them to lay flat on the deck.
    Like the sideboards.

    Almost to good. I have to put something on them to hold them down when went to load a tractor. I imagine with time they will relax some.

    That looks like a pretty nice setup.

    Unfortunately I don't have access to a welder at this point (I did in a previous life), otherwise I could build some nice ramps and colour match them to the trailer! That would be nice.

    Coincidentally my trailer matches the colour of my F-350. I picked up the trailer in QC last year... Pulled it back with the Mazda seen loaded on it in the picture. Picked up the F-350 from a company in the GTA, it was a fleet vehicle. Completely coincidental.

    I did some maintenance and got my 20,000 lbs hitch installed on that truck yesterday. She's almost ready to start towing and get back on the road.

    I must say it feels nice to wrench on something again, it's been a while. And of course that pre-emissions diesel... Mmm...

    These turned way better than I expected.

    I don't travel through this part of Manitoba often (Highway 3 between Boissevain and Killarney), but I went today and Friday with grain bins and didn't know if I'd be coming back through with a clean truck and brand new aluminum trailer any time soon. I've taken pictures here before with other vehicles and it's one of my favourite spots in the province.

    If I hadn't been pressed for time (was running back to pick up straw) I would have taken a whole lot more pictures.
