6 ton payload rear ramp freighter

Perhaps some of you Dogs can advise if there are any 6 ton payload rear ramp loading turbo props out there being operated by civilians?

C130 is too big and too expensive.

An-72/74 is also an option, still CIS though and jet.......

Don't think there is not much other than the An-26/32.

Some Shorts SD3-30 had rear loading ramps (some just had rear door that opened inward), but those are only 3 - 3.5 tonne payload if I remember correctly.
