| How "NOT" to load an ATV (video) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZxCSJ-FHQo]YouTube - Charlie's Accident[/ame] Poor Charley...he had the deck stacked against him from the start. Looks like it was a new ATV. No doubt the 1st attempt to take it out in his pickup truck with his little cooler and "rootbeer" in it.

| Not sure what those spikes are either dangling down. Apparently to stabilze the ramp but they actually made it worse as far as I can tell. I used to load my machines that way (ramp tied down of course) and only once did I have the ramp sort of shift or lurch to left. My machines were around 1000 pounds too and I finally just got a nice trailer and so much easier now. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l8...trailer006.jpg Poor poor Charlie...the laughing stock of the Internet. Looks like he got crushed pretty good.

| And that folks, is why you buy a trailer with a drop gate.

| killer I've got a nice traylor, but I took the floor and wireing out of it 2 years ago and have only replaced the wireing. I really prefer Tri-fold ramps to drive up into the bed of my truck because theres several trucks parked where we park to hunt. The traylor would be hard to manuver. |
