Shed ramp
 

hi

I just got a new shed for my Cub Cadet 122, but I need to make a ramp. It has a about a 16 inch difference from the ground to the floor. What size ramp would I need?

Thad

Prolly one that goes up 16 inches.

i mean length as i don't know the rise a 122 with a tiller or more deck would go up without scraping

I would hazard a guess an say maybe the run be 3-4 times the height! 48 to 64 inches long!

ADA ramps are 1” elevated in 12” of run. Nice rise, however you’d need 16’ of ramp. 6-7’ of ramp might do the job

Mine rises 12 inches. It’s 5 feet long.

Your profile shows you in Colorado. If you want to get it out and back in during winter you'll want a minimum of 8 feet but 12 is probably a better number, my 8 feet for a 12 inch rise causes minor problems with traction after an ice storm.

If that's not an issue I'd suggest you mock one up to try with your implements, every mount and every tractor is slightly different as wear, adjustment, condition, tires, etc all can make your set-up clearance different from the next guy.

Get some scrap OSB and 2 x 4's off a jobsite and run some trials.

That or just make one out of gravel.

Cub Cadet 123

A 8 foot ramp (from level ground) would be 9.59 degrees.

You could build a two stage ramp.

This would make the second level of the ramp
an easier transition.
