Center ramp for jd 50

[scott>]

I bought a narrow front John Deere 50. I’m looking for recommendations on a center ramp. Would a 2x12 be sufficient to load the tractor? The brakes aren’t the best and I’m not comfortable going with the angled two ramp approach. The trailer is dovetailed so it wouldn’t be a steep angle

Full 2 inch oak or honeylocust should be plenty. Something that is straight grained and no knots please.

If it is a car trailer and low to the ground you may not even need a center ramp. Pull up slow to the back of the trailer and let the front end walk up it. I've loaded a Farmall H many times on my friends car trailer this way.
