Default Load Snow Blower into SUV

My concern is where they hit the truck. For safety they will need to hange
over the edge of the back bumper by a couple of inches. No problem when
loading in. But unloading, how do I keep them attached to the SUV long
enough to get the weight on to them? As the blower rolls backwards I think
the wheels will just push the 2x's rather than rolling over them.

Any suggestions on a ramp solution to load a snow blower into an SUV? At
170
pounds I'm just not up to picking it up, hahahaha. I've verified it will
fit
with the handle collapsed and the blower chute removed.

Any suggestions on cheap ramp solutions?

Thanks,

a couple of 2x12's, the longer the better.


I use a couple 2x8's with these brackets. I beveled the ground end of the
2x8's for easier loading. I mixed up some primer and very fine sand to paint
the 2x8's for traction. This works fine for me to load\drive my snow blower
up into and out of my pickup truck.
