EZ Lift Riding Lawn Mower Ramps - 500-Lb. Capacity, Model Number 11935

works

I needed something to raise my John Deere 135 to change and sharpen blades. These rider ramps work almost perfectly. Why almost? The hype said it can be used on hard services as well as grass. Cement and asphalt are out of the question. I tried a rubberized mat which did not work for me. Perhaps if I had used a larger mat it might have. It was no big deal. I went to the grass and it work as stated. It is the perfect height to change the blades. I noticed other components that might need work on the tractor would be easier with the ramps.I think to work on cement or asphalt it would need more grip on the ramp bottoms. Doing the work in the lawn for me is no problem.

Didn't work at all like I thought they would, or as advertised. Tried to load up my riding mower and the ramps just kept sliding along. Tried it on gravel, concrete and dirt, to no avail. Tried chocking them too. Oh well, at least they were only $25 worth of wasted money.

After reading other reviews, I wasn't surprised that they just slid across the floor. But I have a big tractor with big tires, and thought maybe it would work, or I could devise a method. It didn't work. Didn't even begin to climb up. Coulda pushed them things to China. I ran a rope from the bottom of the ramp back to under the rear wheel. This stopped the ramp from sliding. You can't believe the tension on the rope. When backing up, they just flew out when wheel was halfway down. Even after all that they only lifted the mower deck less than 3". Cars rams are too long, and they block the opening to get to blades. I have to car in 4wd to climb up that shallow ramp. Bottom line is I am getting rid of them. I saw an ad from Harbor Freight for a hydraulic lift for mowers, lifts to 24" for only $80. Didn't try rhinos in the grass. My days of working on vehicles in the grass are long gone.

These tings are GREAT! Didn't worry about having them slide on concrete or pavement. It's easier on my old body to lay on the grass to work underneath the mower anyway! Simple to use, effective -- can't think of a negative aspect at all.

They don't work on cement or pavement even with the rubber inserts on bottom.

I read a lot of reviews that talked about how these didn't catch very well on cement. Mine were perfect! Worked so much better than I could have imagined. It gave plenty of room to get under the mower and change the blades. I couldn't recommend these enough!

It provides enough clearance to work underneath for some purposes, but I still could not remove the blade with a wrench (including a breaker bar), and there is not enough room for an impact wrench. As others have written, it does not work on concrete, or wet grass or wet dirt. Looks like I'll be removing the mower deck.
