Good job of chaining down your tractor?

That's not even a car hauling trailer. The 'framing' above the deck is most of it's structural integrity. That's a cheap trailer for a lawn service guy to pull behind his S10 hauling both of his Craftsman mowers. I wouldn't doubt it if that trailer isn't just a 5k trailer with the trailer taking about 1000 pounds away from that limit, leaving it capable to haul 4k.

Looking at these pictures I can tell you that this guy has his tractor tied down better than most in Mississippi. I can't tell you how many times I have actually heard people say "The parking brake will be fine if you aren't going very far."

I agree with this. When I bought my tractor, the seller agreed to deliver it because I didn稚 feel comfortable pulling it with my current truck. He delivered the tractor with no tie downs at all. He said as long as the parking break is set and the bucket is on the deck it痴 fine. It痴 scary that people are willing to put others at risk in this manner.

Maybe he has "farm plates"

Maybe he has "farm plates"

And why would that make a difference?

It was a joke, Puffster.

Since farm plates allow non-cdl trained drivers to drive CDL size vehicles on the road and allowed a TBN member to tow loads beyond the capacity of his truck, maybe they will allow the guy with the F-150 to tow 7K off his bumper with numerous violations.

I can't help but doubt that.

I just took a Sharpie and made my plates "farm" plates. I think I messed up tho. I wrote "Pharm Plates" on them.

In IL as long as it has a pin not a ball hitch its farm use put a SMV on it and keep it under 35mph and its all good (in case some one is going to cut the ball hitch off there trailer farm use only like head movers and wagons).
