I had to cut the vegetation back along the rail road track in the industrial park again.
I loaded up the tractor on the new trailer

Looks good. If your wanting to be more compliant with your chains, you need another one for the bucket and mower. When I move a tractor like that I ran the chain off the front bumper too. Enjoy the deck over, they are nice

Looks like the new trailer is working out good.

timber, looks good. One suggestion for you though is when you use the chain, drop the chain down into the stake pocket then bring it on the outside and hook it to the stake pocket. That way should there be any slack while going down the road the chain will still be attached to the trailer and come loose.

I am very pleased with the fit on the deck with the mower on the tractor. I agree with dropping the chain hook through the stake pocket. I usually chain to the front of the trailer 1st with ratchet binders and then use the binders at the rear to pull everything taught. The loader and the mower deck don't really need any extra securing to the trailer. I could use the winch on the front of the tractor too but it is not on it most of the time.

I agree that chaining the FEL and bush hog is not needed for load securement, but some if not all states require that any attachment be chained separately. I use ratchet straps across my FEL and even strap the back hoe bucket to keep it from moving even though it is pinned and couldn't possible come off.
