too many trolls out there, so I'm disabling comments. if you guys want to just ride up and down the ramps, go for it and good luck!
I've seen one too many youtube videos of people not getting their 4 wheeler / car / motorcycle into their trailer... while it can be sort of funny, in reality it would really ruin your day if it happened to you. So, I've decided that I'll only be using my winch to get my ATV into and out of my truck, and thought I'd share how I personally have set this up. I have ridden it up onto (and off of) the truck but I really don't feel comfortable doing that, especially if I'm alone without a spotter.
I'm not sure my method is perfect, but it allows me to load and unload while not sitting on the 4 wheeler - so if it were to come off, I'd be able to safely and quickly get out of the way. There are some other solutions out there which require you to mount the winch to the truck, but I didn't want to do that since my winch is mounted onto the 4 wheeler.
I know lots of guys with lighter ATV's can just pop them up and lift them into the truck, but this Utility ATV is approximately 700 pounds. Maybe if I had a few friends helping me we could do it that way, but certainly I cannot use that method on my own.
the gear I have / use:
2017 sportsman 570 utility edition: http://www.polaris.com/en-us/atv-quad...
Polaris HD 2500 lbs winch: http://a.co/hzHTyap
Reese towpower safety cable (x4): http://a.co/gTmWFBY
Black Widow ramp (outsides only): http://a.co/76IBvyp
Truck is a 2007 Ram 1500 with a long bed (and a hemi, for what it's worth)
Bull rings allow me to use 4 safety cables (although an engineer friend of mine said that physics dictates that only 3 will ever be working at the same time): http://a.co/9kngi5Q
