Making ramps for a stake body dump

[jfgold]

Hello, I was wondering whether anyone has ever saw a skid steer being hauled on a stake body dump and if so how were the ramps made to get it on the truck. Thinking of buying a F700 stake body dump when I go to an auction but just needed a way to get a skid up on it. This way I could eliminate the trailer saving time, space and $$$. The truck bed is standard height of a stake body F700 so the bed may have to be tilted for something to work. Nephew is a steel fabricator so I have someone to make it just need the idea on how to make it safe and strong. Thanks, Joe

That can't be good for the engine oil pump...

I've put my 8875 in the bed of my C-60 stake bed dump before with just a set of 4' trailer ramps by raising the bed about 18". Its kind of a hair raising experience and I prefer to have a bucket full of something to help hold its nose down. I won't load it backwards because the weight breaks over too fast and the bed tries to rare on up. I MUCH prefer to load onto my gooseneck over putting the machine in the bed of the truck. John
