I used to load over the side using the snowbanks for "ramps".It can be a hoot no matter how you handle it with the snowballs clinging to your track pads etc.Just be sure that you are tied down good with chains and binders plus binders from the track pads to the lowbed.Ron G
We did the same with the 3T D7s and the 2U D8s. Couple of 4' blocks with one end on a 12 X 12 block at each track to make a ramp and up you went turning it 90 degrees once it flopped down on the lowboy to go down the road. The old lowbow did not have ramps on either end. Can't remember ever tieing them down in them days either when moving locally.
