TRANSPORTING TRACTOR SAFELY
Pardon the lousy pictures, but it was from a phone. This looked to be a MasseyFerguson compact tractor. All I could really see, was that it had a 232 loader on it. So I really have no idea what brand tractor it was. I don't know if you can see it, but there was one chain across the middle of the tractor and was not even tight. I guess the tractor had a really good parking brake on it.
Using a phone while driving is not that safe either

Wow. Traveling on a highway too. That is a disaster waiting to happen.

Re: TRANSPORTING TRACTOR SAFELY
This was this morning. The bush hog was hanging 5 ft. off of the trailer. In his defense, he did have a chain loosely draped through the brush guard on front.

Re: TRANSPORTING TRACTOR SAFELY
Nahhh..... He's got that 1" nylon strap on the back to keep it from coming off the back end of the trailer. It ain't going nowhere!!

Couldn't be 5 feet. He'd need a red flag tied to the back to be legal. I believe federal guideline is 4 foot overhang max and surely he would know and follow the transport regs.

Re: TRANSPORTING TRACTOR SAFELY
Was that a single axle trailer? Can't tell from the photos.

Re: TRANSPORTING TRACTOR SAFELY
I like the shrink-wrapped car behind him. That's a nice look and I'll bet it's easy see out too. Originally Posted by 1969grandpa

Sadly, I see stuff like this every week.
Tractors, zero turn mowers, furniture stacked up on a truck or trailer.
No rope, straps or chain, 'cause 'it'll ride'.Mike...
East Alabama.... Yes, we can ...:-)

Re: TRANSPORTING TRACTOR SAFELY

Re: TRANSPORTING TRACTOR SAFELY
Just curious, was this taken on I-24 or I-65 by chance? Originally Posted by beckmurph
