I never have felt comfortable driving up ramps onto trucks. I have always used trailers with a rear let down ramp. Glad you are OK.

2 pieces of advise.
NEVER ride a machine on ramps, much easier to get out of the way when things go wrong.
Buy hardwood for the ramps, pine snaps too easy.

Glad your ok!,could have been alot worse. I had thought about making wood ramps ,but was afraid of this happening someday,went with aluminum ramps instead.

Ray, perhaps you should see a doctor. Not going to lecture you, just don't want to see ya hurt and these machines can do a lot of damage.

Take it easy....

I just bought a set of aluminum ends and made a set of ramps last week. I bought an old Snapper a few weeks ago and me and another old man lifted it into the truck. I wanted to be able to ramp the next one. I don't think I would ever have the stones to drive my 1863 up the 2x8 ramps into a pickup. I might crank it in with an old boat wench I use some times but that's still a lot of weight.
I agree with Cub Cadet 123 about seeing your doctor.

Glad to hear you're OK ( other than some extra colors from bruising )

Did you purchase metal ramps yet?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
