I don't see any tie down chains on the front and I'm sure that Bobcat weighs more than that 7K trailer can handle.

I saw those pictures on another forum, and they had two chains with binders on the front. It was actually a good tie down job, the problem was neither the trailer or the truck are heavy enough to handle the skid steer.

How do you know those are 3500 lb axles? I'm not saying you are wrong, just wondering how you can tell from that picture. Is it the 5-bolt rims?

He (the trailer owner) is using his "calculated fudge factor"

As a canuck, he should know better. That is not gonna go through the Timmy's Drive Through.

But really, that's not an oversize load. Those be standard four by twos! Eh?

The doors are what's putting him over width. he just needs to take those off before hauling, then he'll be good to go.

Or open them, and back up against something solid, folding them in. Then bunjie in place. Reminds me of a woman I dated that kept the door to her minivan closed with a dog leash.

Just a wild guess but I've never seen 5 lug trailer axles rated for more than 3500.

I’d say you’re right about the trailer size but it’s a little skid steer. I doubt it’s exceeding the trailer capacity. The ranger is definitely overloaded.
