Having used A172A1 with a 10 ton tractor all the time we would look for a
slight hill to use to off load because them ramps are too heavy for one
person to handle..With 2 people you can slide them around off the back but
no easy job.. If you are going to move them around & carry them you need 4 -
6 people.. If we were going to do the same thing - days in a row - we would
leave them at the mo/ pool ..We would slide them on the lowboy not in use..
I would like the deck plates my self --- We didnt use them much but I would
like them and spare tire & rim.. Doug Slager
