Anyone have experience with load ramps? I need to figure out how to get a walk behind mower into and out of my pickup bed, the 2x10 'ramps' I tried didnt cut it.

Not sure how much I'll use them but I dont want to buy junk.

Any experience with HF options? Their steel ramps look decent. I solid ramps seems to be more useful, but of course heavier.

Yep,
Try Lowe's, they have a crowned set for around 100 bucks that are much better than those. They look more like this.

x2. Ones that are 'arched' in the center help prevent hi-centering low clearance machines on the tailgate edge.

I use the wall between my house and the neighbors to load Charly's bike. Uesed a hill side at the owners place to load it. Have also used 2x10s and cinder blocks, and a cheery picker. Can all was lower the air presure or just take the rear wheels off to get a better angle.

Space between ramps looks problematic

Thanks, good thinking. Just, one of, the problems I had with the 2x's. I'll check Lowes. Might be good to have for the bike too, just in case. I was looking at the solid versions thinking they might be good to move other thing, safe maybe?. Then I thought of my with a handtruck going down the ramp, no thanks.
