I clicked on the link and didn't see any ramp. Nor could clicking around the page show me one.
BTW, I see both you and the trailer company are in Savannah. Is there any connection?

my experience with wood ramps come from a few experiences actually using them to load a tractor onto a lowboy trailer a few times. 100% of the time the would split dumping the tractor and operator quickly to the side.. made for bad memories... 
everyone is gree to choose their own destiny however.. mine just won't involve a wood ramp accident (again).

I feel your pain, but there is a huge difference between nailed up 2x4s and a piece of white oak that is 3" thick. The only trouble is that a 3x13 seven feet long would weigh a BUNCH.

i agree... and I wasn't using nailed up 2x4. ( i think that was someone else's post that mentioned that? ). I was using rough cut dimensional lumber at least one of the times, and 'regular' lumber the others. by the time you get a safe enough wood ramp .. at least one safe enough that I would use.. it would be cheaper, lighter, and smaller to have a steel one.
( for me anyway! )

I agree. You don't pick up a timber like that at Lowe's or The BORG.

All I get is a blank white space right underneath the "Wood ramps make better movies" if I use Firefox. OK in other browsers.
Any helpful hints?

Thank you, Bruce
Your link gets me the Facebook page, with the same movie. However, when I click on the "Play" arrow in the center, it says "And Error Has Occurred".
Also, when I try to read the local newspaper page at The Daily Courier iMag - Developed by [url]www.3DIssue.com. ? Trinity Innovations LTD 2008. All rights reserved.[/url], the image does not appear at the right, as it does on other browsers (and used to on Firefox).
Perhaps, being a computer klutz (as well as a tractor newbie), I should be on a computer help forum rather than a tractor help forum.
