Warning broke wood ramp
I had a not too fun thing happen today. I was unloading a tractor off the trailer today when the wood ramp we use broke and sent my shop tractor on top of me. Now my trailer is not so high. Off of a truck would have been worse. I feel like I went thru a cement mixer I am very sore but nothing broke as far as I know. So just a warning to you that use them, it pays to check them once in a while. We are going with a aluminum set now.

Glad you are alright Ray!!! You're too old now to lay underneath tractors anymore without feeling some pain.
 I use a set of solid aluminum ramps on a trailer about 5 or 6 inches off the ground and still had them slip off (my chains don't climb the ramps very well). Great that you sent out this safety warning to others--THANK YOU!!! I can't believe that the broken ramp survived long enough for you to take a picture of it--I would have probably not had your temperament and tested it on the law of gravity!!!I use a tube sock or a pantyhose stocking filled with rice and heated in the microwave for 5 min. on the places that hurt where a heated pad just won't fit (ie. around the neck). Take care.... Cub Cadet 123

Yikes! Glad you are OK. I always had a fear of going through that experience, especially when loading into a pickup truck.
I purchased a pair of folding ramps, something like these ones, from discountramps.com. They are arched, to keep your mower deck from catching on the tailgate, decently priced, rated for 1500 lbs., and have motorcycle straps attached, to hook onto your bumper to keep them from kicking out. I've loaded my 1000 into my pickup truck quite a few times with no issues. http://www.discountramps.com/atv-loading-ramps.htm Josh

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.
