  Tieing Down a CUT Tractor

Murf: This subject has been beaten to death "elsewhere" on the net (ahem...) and it has been said that using two chains (how I tie down, also) may be illeagal in some states. The laws read that the tractor (load) should have four independant tie downs and each impliment should have one securing tie down. So, a tractor with a FEL and Box Blade attached should have SIX chains to secure it to the trailer. (Yes, I think thats excessive too.) I thought I'd just add what others have said about thier particular states.

Where I live (Wisconsin) I use two 3/8" grade 70 chains, one looped through the front bumper and one through a clevis on the 3pt (or 3pt attachment), with one boomer (bear trap, snapper, finger buster) binder on the front chain and have never been hassled by "the man."

  Tieing Down a CUT Tractor

I agree thats what the national standard is, but,(I don't remember the specifics) state codes can be above and beyond that. The one I was talking about was from Massachusetts or Connecticut (or on the east coast somewhere) that additional tie downs were needed on "wheeled" cargo. Once again, I cannot prove it or provide specifics, but the best bet would be to ask the local DOT for their say in the matter to prevent any fines.

BTW, thanks for the congrats. Wanna hire me now? Wink yeah right
