Hi everyone,

Hope everyone is healthy and is doing good with everything going on currently.

I recently bought a 26.5" walk behind Ryan aerator. One thing I did not consider before buying the unit was loading it on the trailer. I have a 7x14 big tex utility trailer. It's too having to load unfortunately ....

I was thinking possibly bolting a winch to my trailer? Any other idea's, recommendations or methods you guys use?

Appreciate all response and advice.

Would something like this work? Tilt back on two rear wheels and pull up the ramp? https://www.harborfreight.com/automotive/ramps/loading-ramps/2-piece-steel-loading-ramps-44649.html

Light enough to take on and off easily when needed.

That's basically what the rental company gave me to use to pull the aerator up into my truck bed with but they were wooden.
Make the same thing that they did. Just add lumber
