Using Reverse to back sled into enclosed trailer...too much stress?

[Vincenthdfan]

Hello,
Just sold my last shorter tracked sled and am looking for another long tracked Edge (151").

We have an 06 162" Apex and an 03 151" 700 Edge already and a 16 foot trailer with a 4 foot v in front.

Anyway, I think the only way Im going to get three long tracks to fit comfortably is to back one into the trailer in reverse. Either the front ramp, or the rear ramp.

The rear ramp angle is much less steep and the front one isnt all that bad either because this trailer is lower riding due to having fender wells.

My question is...is this going to be too much stress on the reverse system?

I will be using wheel skates on the skis too lessen the friction and its the manual reverse system, not PERC.

Whats the consensus out there?

Anyone done this?

Thanks!

We do it all the time. Traction up the ramp in reverse is the only problem. We usually have someone help pull on the rear bumper to get it to up the ramp and to guide it. No issues with stressing the reverse.
