    Borrowing a sled for the next kwt tournament. I know I know real newbie question here razz me about it all you want. How do you get the sled off/ on the trailer? I currently don't have Ramps or anything of the like. My trailer is not super high off the ground if that helps.

    Back it into a snowbank. Shovel one of you need to.

    Grab both ski loops, lift up and pull onto trailer.. should slide up fairly easily.
    To remove pull backwards on the bumper.

    x2 on the snowbank.. although it might be tough finding one low enough now …
    A thick sheet of plywood would probably work to send it up.
    Would lift it off

    Does the person you are borrowing the sled from have a sled trailer?....

    1-2 guys grab each side and throw on.
    2-back up to snowbank and drive on.
    3-go to princess auto and buy a tri-fold, if you can afford to enter the tournament you can buy a ramp.
    4-don’t let whoever you are borrowing the sled off of know you asked this question, it’s embarrassing.
    5-you said to razz if needed so there it is, you could google some ideas instead of posting this imo.

    If you have to ask this question, not sure you should be operating a snowmobile

    Who's to say I haven't operated one before? I've just never had to transport one before everyone has to start and learn somewhere.

    I understand that, just figured if you have operated one you’d be able to figure out how to load.

    Valid question..
    asked about quad ramps a while ago and got sent a few ways to build ramps instead of buying.
