Loading Trail Boss 330 onto pickup truck
I used to back my Sportsman onto my old Ranger. The Trail Boss will fit. When I put in it forwards, I would drive one tire over the wheel well with the other running inside the well. I even pushed it on once after it was nearly totaled by backing into the road shoulder, dropping the tailgate and pushed it across my ramps.

OK, Sunday I'll have pics of the ramp up. Sorry, but Mr. Budweiser stopped by and if you knew how long it took to type this, you'd know the pics would be of half a ramp, sitting in the back of my neighbors car. Bought new goggles today, didn't know they were beer goggles.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I ride my trailblazer up the ramps until the front wheels hit the wheel wells then I lock the brake get of it and grab it by the front bumper as I release the break. Then I lift the front wheels over the wheel wells. It's a little tight. I have to climb over the quad to get out. Make sure you lock the break again. I don't use straps. As tight as it fits and with the brake locked it doesn't move at all.

Radblazer...... Mine is a long bed Ranger (1997) so I should have plenty of room. I made a small "ramp" out of several 2X6s in the back and front of my wheel wells and put some safety sandpaper strips (for traction) on the sides of the tailgate. I plan to drive my Boss onto the wheel wells, then shut down and manually guide the ATV toward the front. I'll probably crush my cohones against the truck cab when the ATV comes down from the wheel wells. Never did this before and I'm anxious as hell -- this is a brand new machine! If you hear a loud, area-wide cussing noise from the San Antonio area Wednesday morning, it will be me!

Finally got pictures posted on my photo page. My phone line went down Sunday [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] while I was trying to file my taxes. Hope this helps some.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Don't depend on your brake to hold in place more than just loading it. It even states in the manual that the brake will lose pressure if left applied too long. Don't know why, but it does that on all of ours.
