What will help prevent the bottoming out is a ramp set that is longer and has a bit of an upward bow like the # 288-07489 has.

Without knowing the length of your current ramps I can't say if these would be an improvement in that area. These are 65 inches long though.

Since your current ramps are 48 inches and the part # 288-07489 is 65 inches long this would help prevent bottoming out. With a longer ramp the angle between the ramp and the trailer bed will be flatter which will allow for an easier transmission of your mower. The upward bow of the ramp also helps flatten out that transition as well. I attached a picture of these ramps used on a trailer where you can see the bow in the ramps.

I have another option for you, but due to the length of the ramp you would not want to use the Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set - 48" x 14-1/2" #288-07501 any higher than 12" as it could cause the ramp to not be secure and will be a pretty…
