Your towing rigs and trailers

Here's my setup:
- 2008 LWL LT 16', "light tandem" 7000# GVW, brakes on all 4 wheels.
- "Old Reliable" - 1979 Ford F100, 300 cu.in. 6 cyl., T-18 4-speed, 6-leaf rear springs - built to work!
- Kubota B7800 chained down with 3/8" G70 at each corner, plus 3/8" G70 through the FEL tube.

'05 Dodge 2500 Cummins, '07 Jinma 284, '00 Big Tex 16' 7K w/ chains on all 4 corners plus one each over attachments, just like common sense and the terms of my CDL require...

Please tell me that I'm just not seeing the 4 chains on each corner holding the tractor to the trailer. I know I can't see everything from the limited picture. It's just that from the picture I see, it appears to be a candidate for the Darwin Award with one flimsy ratcheting strap across the floor of the tractor, which wouldn't be adequate for even holding a 4 wheeler on the trailer.

I used the winch on the front and a cumalong on the back strapped to the loader and put the rachet strap over the middle.I hope this makes you feel better...

My 98 Dakota 4x4, 5.2 litre with a 7000 lb. trailer with elec brakes both axles.
I use 4 10,000 lb ratchet straps 1 on each corner plus one over the loader by bucket & 1
on the backhoe bucket. At all wear areas I have the straps fed thru pieces of fire hose
to save the straps. This setup works well with my Kioti Ck20.

My 98 Dakota 4x4, 5.2 litre with a 7000 lb. trailer with elec brakes both axles.

It's amazing what those Dakotas will do, they are a perfect match for someone who needs a truck that can tow but not a big 1/2ton. My 98 V6 3.9l hauled three sleds with 3 men and all their gear 3hrs north up through the steep White Mountains highway every weekend in the winter. It was a little tight inside but that V6 had plenty of power and the truck had great brakes.
