I have two trailers to transport with, a 7k car hauler with a tilt bed and a 14k, 20+5 gooseneck. I've never had a problem getting anything on or off the car hauler.
The gooseneck is another story. I had it built with three flipover ramps. (I've watched guys wranglin' narrow fronts on and off over two ramps and that's not for me, thanks!). The tractors climb well over the rungs in the ramps, but if the boards on the beavertail are at all wet, the rest of the trip up can get interesting, and the tractor can take on a pretty good yawl, enough that I've had to back down and take several stabs to get up onto the deck. My feet never leave the pedals, and I've managed to avoid any close calls.
It's better since Fawteen contributed some expanded metal to screw down to the boards on the beavertail, but even they can be a little slick when wet. It hasn't been enough of a problem to warrant buying and rigging a winch, but I keep a couple of comealongs in the chain box against the day that I can't drive 'em on. Worse comes to worst, I carry enough chain and strap that I can unhitch, chock the trailer, and pull anything aboard (especially something that isn't running, steering, or stopping right) with the truck.
