[QUOTE="sar4937, post: 5575, member: 191"] I would make sure your car trailer has the capacity to legally transport your skidsteer. I have an S185 and a 9,999 gvw trailer. with fuel, bucket, and pallet forks I am very close to being legally overweight. As far as your four foot ramps, If you do not have legs on your ramps be aware that when the weight starts to come off your trucks rear tires it will begin to skid and you will be about halfway up your ramps. Block your tires both ahead and behind or use a large block between your tandem wheels on you trailer 16k pounds does not take much grade to get sliding. I have even seen a truck swing sideways and begin to jack-knife. Also if you load your skidsteer backwards and do not have a cab enclosure, you won't have road-killed insects where you need to sit.
