Time for my $.02. The wood of today is not the best to use for ramps! If you want to recreate a nice old toy you must use old wood. Here is what I mean. My folks farm has a lot of older growth wood on it. Many of the trees are 120 years +. You want straight grain clean OAK planks that are 2" thick and they will need to cure for about 2 years. After they cure and the water is out of them you can move them with out a team of oxen. Good old local saw mills can help you out. Ask for bridge planks. On the farm we have a brige down by the brook and it has a deck for over 60 years. The planks last about 15 years and if you coat them with drain oil they last even longer. EPA loves that one. We have a big dirt bank out by the barn and it works very well. There is nothing like a good roll back. Just understand that most are for lite cars and not heavy tractors. Heavy Duty means it is built to do work not play! Jeff
