Anyone have any experience moving their tractor in a cube van? I have a 12' cube van, load capacity 3500 lbs. It has a fairly tall load height . I have seen some 10' long ramps (3000 lbs) that should get my bx 24 loaded.

Don't know about a van but I carry mine in my horse trailer all the time. Ain't much difference.

My load height would be 30", quite a bit higher than a horse trailer. Anyone load their tractor on something that tall and have any issues?

You hit somebody/something and that tractor will chop you in half.

And that's putting it nicely.

And remember that height will look real high, putting a heavy machine that high will get your attention quick and don't look down. Its no worse than a deck over trailer to load, just make real sure you have room to get it in..backing down on a tall ramp is not a good feeling unless you have done it before. see picture

when I get better at this, I will do as BTDT suggested and drive it up and spin it around and drive it down, It will be awhile for that
