Hi, I am having problems loading my New (to me) pull behind 12' batwing mower. The blades are getting stuck on the angle iron on my trailer (where the boards end and the dovetail starts). I tried lifting the mower with the 3pt, but I just cant lift it enough. It is getting caught and I dont want to tear up my trailer. Any suggestions how to get this sucker up there?
How am I gonna load this?

Can't say for sure not seeing first hand what the situation is but I have some ideas.
Park the trailer with the tail in a low dip but with the ramps high and/or lay some planks and blocking down to minimize the abruptness.

Try putting a couple of 2 x'son the deck of the trailer in front of the rear wheels. When you drive up onto the 2 x's it may lift the rear of the tractor up enough to get the mower off the boards.

If the tail wheels won't lift the dect high enough for the blades to clear the trailer, then ditto what the others said.. some wood ont he trailer for the tail wheels to roll over may help. get a spotter to tell you how much clearance you 'lack'.. then see if yuo can safely build it up that much. pics will help if you can't get it after a few tries.
