This step is crucial!
The safest way to load your riding mower into the truck is to drive it backward into the bed of the vehicle. Why? The heaviest part of the ride-on mower will be kept lower and that will eliminate any risks of the mower/tractor tipping over or flipping while going up the ramps.
Gas and oil are hazardous materials that top the list of non-allowable items when moving home. And as you know well, professional movers cannot and will not transport dangerous items of any kind.

Also, keep in mind that the center of gravity of most riding lawn mowers is higher which could lead to the mower tipping back when it’s going up a steep incline. So, make sure the loading ramps you buy are long enough to eliminate any tipping risks.

As you might imagine, all lawn mowing equipment from lawn tractors or riding mowers have very low ground clearance because of the cutting deck. This low height can be a problem when it comes to loading because it creates the risk of high-centering the mower when it gets to the top of the ramp.

Regardless of the exact type of lawn equipment you have – a battery lawn mower, an electric corded lawn mower, a gas lawn mower, or a riding lawn mower, moving a lawn mower to a new house is not an easy task. There are many important things to consider and crucial steps to take before you get to the point of loading your lawn mower onto the moving truck.
