Jeff and I finally got to try out the new trailer today. We set it up w/ his B7510 for a trip down to Rhode Island. The method used to hold down the B7510 is precisely how I will hold down the CK-20. We're using the rear drawbar housing w/ grab hooks that grab beautifully and ratchet binders to the trailer hold down pockets on the side. The chains are grade 70 tow chain 20' each w/ grab hooks on each end. I may cut the chains in half and add grab hooks so we can attach the chain to the trailer the same way they are attached to the front frame of the tractor where the hook wants to stay hooked (open end facing down) w/ gravity acting on them. Then the ratchet binders can simply hold two separate chains together for each corner.

This trailer is capable of 7000' w/ brakes on all 4 wheels. The rear gate is landscape style however the bars back there are sqaure tube instead of angle or channel and take the weight of the turf tires nicely. We got this thing for $2200.00 from Truck and Trailer world in Mendon, MA and we're very happy w/ the results.

Jeff reports this rides nicely at 65 MPH w/ no sway what-so-ever on the highway. Went over plenty of bumps around town and the tractor didn't budge -- it's bound down nice and tight.

I'd like to thank all of you who took the time to reply and offer pictures. This thread appears to have been helpful to lots of folks. In return, I'm going to attach pictures from today's activities.

And we had some time later to put the CK-20 on there. Got a nice close-up of the grab hooks going into the drawbar housing -- works great.

Here are the pictures.
