It becomes a little easier when you see someone else do it. Coming back off you have to be a little more careful.

This takes practice, and confidence in both your self and the tractor, 
but set the ramps the width for the rear wheels, Drive to the trailer at 
a 90 degree angle with the rear wheels just a few inches out from the 
end of the ramps.  just before the rear wheel reaches the ramp crank the 
steering hard over and use the inside brake to control the turn.  The 
front wheel will go up the ramp and come off the edge just as it reaches 
the trailer. and you just drive on.  Unloading takes a little more 
courage.  LOL
