How do you tie down tractors when hauling on a trailer?

Your equipment doesn't have a hitch on the rear? My 790 and my new 3520 both have hitches. I use a large clevis for an anchor point

I've got a draw bar, if that's what you mean. but that being right in the center, I don't think it would be the ideal attachment point. I could be wrong though?

This thread is so incredibly stupid. :confused2:

:laughing: You have to quantify that statement, can't just come out with that :laughing:

I'm new to the tractor scene and don't haul it very often... only twice in 4 months. I've got plenty of 10k straps and chains and I will change the way I secure it. Thanks for all the feedback. It's very informative! :thumbsup:

Yeah I do believe aslong as you got straps on it,better than no straps even if your not anchored to the lowest part of tractor,come on now,only way I would be worried is if no straps and only parking brake on. Heck I would ride behind you rkeith....

I agree with your good judgement, but then you've got everyone wondering :laughing:

I use straps for my tractor, and I really like them. I'm not hauling a multi ton machine. I'm hauling a subcompact tractor that is lighter than most compact cars. I figure that if I have 9K rated straps on a 3K tractor I should have plenty of margin to allow for some wear and tear on the straps. I use one strap accross the middle of the tractor and one accross the rear. I try to keep the straps angled at about 45 degrees to the trailer to manage all of the forces. I've never had an issue when I had everything tied down like this.

There are an awful lot of people thinking alike in this thread.

I've enjoyed this thread immensely. It's been fun. I have but one more thing to say to any and all self-appointed "Police" of any stripe:
