Loading and binding down the tractor to my Deck Over

[Timber]

I have to move a shed for a guy tomorrow morning. It's a rather small building, I'm planing on lifting it a putting it on rollers and simply pushing it with th tractor

Hopefully that toolbox is very stout. Would it have been better to back on having the forks on the back? Lots of rocking forces going to the toolbox.

It's a job box, it is fine.

Looks good to me. The only thing that could shift might be the curl cylinders on the FEL, but I guess that would only tighten the strap across the forks maybe.

I would probably fold the ROPS, just because.

I trailered my JD 5103 / MX6 on a 22' GN around 10 miles and back a few months ago without fastening it down with anything. Just dropped the bucket and mower down, put her in Park and headed down the road :laughing:

(I couldn't find my straps and needed to get the mowing done... so I risked it on some back county roads.) I won't ever do that again, as I barely drove with my eyes on the road. They were mostly in the rear-view making sure my tractor wasn't moving! :laughing:

I would have put a strap on each rear wheel to take the load off the 3 pt hitch.

The chains and binders are the only things that have any real tension. The straps are just snug over the loader an brush cutter. There is no tension on the 3 point hitch as the mower is on the trailer deck. Most of the time I never strap them down whe they are attached to the tractor but the job I was doing was for a local cop
