Could I use a pair of these with 2X8s or 2X10s to load a lawn tractor into the back of a pickup truck?

Capacity with the 2x lumber and ramps is 700 lbs. Oak would be stronger and cost more than treated pine.
Was this Answer Helpful ?Yes, but as I stated in my review, this kit is only for the ends of the boards that contact the tailgate. You may need a bottom kit too. Since I'm only loading mower and don't do it often, I don't r5eally need them. My mower and I weigh about 800lbs and a pair of 2x10 are as solid as a rock.

Was this Answer Helpful ?Bill, I tried but I had to take it back to the store. I used 2x8s as suggested and the 2x8 bend and it was kind of scary.
Was this Answer Helpful ?2x10s would be stronger and last longer they hold up to my quad pretty good
Was this Answer Helpful ?I think they would be okay for a smaller lawn tractor. These ramp tops are made for 2x8s. There are others available elsewhere that can use either board. More money, of course.
