[AT] Post Hole Digger

I'm with Herb, plywood would be nice... With ramps and the come-along you should be fine, may not even have to take it apart. Good luck.

Roy; since I so not know about your ramps, would suggest a couple fold-up 
saw horses, couple 2" x 4" x 6'-8' long, and a piece of 3/4" plywood (close 
to 4' x 8', that will easily lay in the bed of your pickup). Some ramps 
have too many places for equipment to snag, fall through, etc.
