Getting snowmobile into pickup truck

[Early Riser]

Later in the winter I can anticipate using a snow bank to drive my snowmobile onto my pickup. Until there is enough snow, what kind of system, either commercial or homemade, works well for you? I have a short bed full-size pickup and a skido tundra which is a pretty light sled. Thanks in advance and pray for lots of snow!

I assume your a young guy, so just have a buddy help you lift it right in. Its really not that hard, Ive helped lift many in a truck untill there was a snowbank available.
When your too old to do this you should be able to afford a trailer.

I have a Panther ... and am NOT that young anymore. I've got a ramp for lawn tractors, but the angle is way too steep for the long sled. So I built some ramps using aluminum ramp ends you can get online or through places like Fleet Farm, etc. You could get away with doing just one end, though I got ends for both. You screw then onto the end of good 2 x 8 x 10's or whatever you need. The ramp ends have pins so you can lock them into your truck, if you don't mind drilling a couple holes - not a problem if you have a liner. So for about $50 or less you have a set of ramps (three needed, one for each ski, one for the track). I screwed in some cross slats on the center ramp for traction.

My buddy has this problem as well. He has been using two 2x6's and a sheet of half inch plywood and drives it right up. He has a 96 xcr 600 and when the sled planes out he has about a foot to slam on the brakes before he goes threw the cab. Works pretty good!
