Good tie-down locations in a new ck35

Tractor data on web says 61" wide.

The bigger issue is usually the front tires being too narrow for the wheel channels.

Call tool and equipment rental stores, they should have trailers that would work for your needs.

Thanks for the feedback. I did tow my ck35 with no issues. I used 3 chains and 3 binders. Two in the front connected to each side of the loader frame under the tractor. The 3rd chain went through a heavy duty clevis connected to my tractor towing receiver. For where I live this was overkill.

Wrong! I've been all morning on this. Not any of the large, nationwide equipment places will rent for use across state lines. Even with trailers tagged out of state to begin with. My choices at present are: U-haul auto transporter and lie that it's not for a tractor & hope no wrecks, or buy a new or used trailer or pay through the nose for a rented truck. I'm currently sifting through CL ads looking at a used trailer to use, then sell it off. I really have no use for a large trailer.
The measurements for those interested: Kioti DK35SE- 16'8" from back of a land pride box blade to front of the bucket.
Tire tracks are: front-66" outside to 42" inside/ rear-69" outside to 34" inside.
I do find many 16' trailers are too light as the weight of the trailer, tractor, FEL & blade come to over 7,000#'s on a trailer with dual axle 3,500's axles even though it will fit on them.

#14 I used to do it that way also, until I keep getting DOT,d You actually should of had 2 on that clevis, and a separate one on the bucket. I have a friend that is a local DOT cop and if the chain is not series 7 he take the size and looks it up and goes for half of what the book says. By the way the state wants at least 1 dot cop with inspection license, and dot certification in each jurisdiction, I don't see it actually happening. Also you should of had 2 on the bucket. Heck I cant afford all the chains and binders needed. Another thing if money is made with the truck, trailer, load beware there pushing for a DOT number. Down at the auction today they were checking the Mennonites that haul the Amish around for a small sum of money, you need a DOT number. This country is in sorry shape.

As of Jan 1 2016. and according to my state rep this came from the federal level.
You can not pull a trailer that has a gross wt larger than you pickup gross GVW.

Any way you can give a source for that? I can't find any semblence of a written law like that, makes me wonder if someone is just repeating alarmist blather they heard.

This country is in sad shape as long as people get worked into a lather over fiction they can't lookup themselves.

Ken Krigis,
I'll give you a head start
Title 75 - PA General Assembly
And I won't hold my breath

 

[Ken Kegris]

I only know whats happening in this area, I have a friend who is a district justice and she told me when at the hearing ask to see the law they are citing me under and many times they will back down As I have said before I really believe they make some of this stuff up as they go. I have this happening on Tuesday at the auction. I wont even pull my trailer through the local town on Tuesdays because I know they are there about every Tuesday. I will look up Title 75 and see what that says. It is possiable that I got Dot numbers mixed up with PUC numbers. I know first hand I mow at our tractor club for fuel only and got stopped and they wanted a PA number or A DOT number and because I was woring for nothing they left me go after 15 minutes of hagling.

Rock knocker, I looked up as you suggested 4903 -C3 states that the separate bucket on a hyd machine must be boomed down. and 2942 states that The towing pickup cannot pull a 7000pound trailer if the the gross is only 5815 that why I had to get a 5000 trailer. I don't quite understand post 17. I just know whats happening in my area. I know they mix Fed rules with the state ones because sometime they are cutting you a break. because some of the add ons to fine are not applicable when cited as a federal statue. When I went to the state rep he said a lot of these rules were handed down under the federal Highway safety act.
