Just make 'em like this to begin with?

Had the loader out on a job the other day. Had to clear some brush and move about 50 dumptruck loads of base material.

Got finished, and hooked on to my equipment trailer. Went to drive the loader up the ramps... No-Go.

It had come a little shower, and the tracks were a bit damp. They got me nearly to the top, and then started spinning. Wouldn't load at all.





So, I took the trailer, and bought a sheet of structural expanded metal, and cut to width and welded it on both ramps.



I foresee no more traction problems.

The trailer manufacturer should have saved me the trouble, though.

Cutting corners?
