Loading a Snowblower into my CX-5

[lwh1993]

ANy suggestion on how to load a really heavy anowblower into the CX-5. I need to take it in for maintenance and I used to use a an old door for a ramp but no longer have it. I would think I could use 2x4's but I need something to level out the end of the 2x4's so I cna unload easily as well.

I'm thinking this could work.

well, if this is something like a riding mower size, (if you have a tow b****) you can rent a trailer.

Thankfully that is an item I will never own.....

You need a trailer hitch for hauling things like that, do you have a Harbor Freight near you, they sell inexpensive aluminum ramps. I've seen ramps for ATV's at our local Walmat as well. Is it too heavy for 2 people to lift?

Sounds like your rear bumper will be toast after this little exercise!

I might just have the mobile maintenance guy come over and check it out. It's not something I would need more than once every two years, so not worth the investment to get a trailer.

Still need to get a 180 lb into the bed, I'll just have the mobile maintenance guys fix er up.
