Heavy Haul Lowboy tips-outriggers and visual indicators

After a question posed by JPaydirt I decided to throw up a quick video showing my rule of thumb on outriggers and how I line machines up. Granted this video is fairly specific to a 3100 but it gives you an idea of what to look for.
Feel free to ask me questions or shoot me an email at [e-mail]
Take care!!

Thank you for the video! I'm a young buck lowboy driver, I just hit my first year. I look forward to more videos.
Stumbled on your work thread on HEF and ended up here.

Glad you found me! Lol. I’ve done a lot of stuff, I love to share my experience and knowledge.....hopefully learning some new things along the way.
Thank you for the comment!

I use exactly the same rule as you for whether I use outrigger boards.
Tip for the front of your deck is to put a couple of scrap tires on the edge there to let the machine climb up on the tire. It gives the track more grip & saves the deck.

How do you park one of these?

[@treyking9721]

So how much more width does it add with outriggers on your setup? 6" or "8?

[@Junkyardmethod]

You pickup about 10” per side. Outrigger size is fairly standard as far as width. You will see differences in the thickness of board they’re setup to use. My old 60 ton 10’ wide was setup for 3” thick boards.
