Good info! If you want to make sure your hook doesn't fall off, drop it through the pocket and bring it back up and hook it on the top of the stake pocket. That looked like an awesome stump grinder :)
Thanks for that brother 👍
Absolutely correct!
OK - you guys really helped me with more information to tie down my equipment. I am a grandma who has some big equipment to transport down the highway! I used to use straps to tie down my Kubota tractor but learned that chains are safer & more secure. Nice job on your explanation to tie down the loader as well. I appreciate the help.
Glad to help!
Thanks Hank. Perfect timing again. I just borrowed a trailer to haul my tractor and I made a video so everyone will get a good laugh, ha. I liked the informative demonstration by you and B. I know this is not talking about the heavy load to carry on the trailer but remember to clamp down or remove any small items that you have in tractor pouches or tool boxes. I've seen rags, pamphlets, drink bottles etc fly off tractors that the hauler totally didn't think about b/c they were focused on the tractor and the implements (which is good) but remember those small loose things. It would be totally bad to have someone's windshield mangled b/c of a wrench that flew off a tractor's platform. One guy must have been working on his tractor to tighten his chains and left a bar on the tractor bed and guess where it went. Nicely done video by the dynamic tractor duo.
That's an excellent point Don! I wished I would have thought to say that in the video ( the small components part of your comment) 👍
As always good stuff Hank. Safety is everybody's business. We all like to go home at the end of the day.
Yes sir. Thanks for the kind words. Have a good one👍
Great video of loading a tractor onto a trailer and talking about where to attach chains and binders and stressing safety first. Loved the Green tractor comment lol 😂 Thanks for sharing.
Lol. Thanks buddy👍 I appreciate you taking the time to comment and watch the video. Hope you have a good weekend!
Great neighbor Brandon! When tying down something in a trailer, I am always on the safe/prudent/redundant side of the business! Nice set of equipement there! Thanks!
Thanks Joe. I really appreciate Brandell making these videos with me. He's a cool cat.
Oops! Brandell, not Brandon! Sorry!
Enjoyed the video with the Dynamic Duo. Great safety information. I get my dealer to haul mine.
Right on. Ive had to do that once because I have to borrow a trailer. Which stinks. Thanks Terry👍
I am totally new and thank you for all of your safety tips.
You bet. Stay safe
Stickler for strapping down those pants with a belt and overalls! Thanks for the video!
Fantastic vid guys. Probably more important than ANYTHING else about a tractor and trailer is safe transport.
You got that right Scot!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm As a crane operator and Class A driver I have 14 yrs experience hauling oversized and overweight loads. I've seen some "stuff"!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Maybe you mentioned it, Hank, and I missed it, but is important to position the load so that it does not have negative tongue weight. If there is negative tongue weight, the trailer can start fishtailing and get into the death wobble.
No, I didn't and that's a huge point. Thanks for that👍
Helli! New sub here... great video especially for new homesteaders getting their first tractor!
Thanks a lot and welcome. We appreciate you.
Years ago, after watching and being victim to loading farm tractors, equipment, vehicles, etc. onto trailers, and seeing the loading operation, not so much the tie down portion, I came up with a solution that has worked for many, many years. If you get this part right, it will lessen the wear and tear on your nerves, as well as stopping any loading accidents, which could impact your tie down operation. I went to Tractor Supply and picked up two swivel jacks. They come with a weld plate already attached, and they lock at 90 degrees on both horizontal planes, and 90 degrees to the vertical plane. I welded one jack on each rear corner, about 1 foot from the end of the trailer for me, which provided enough clearance to clear the handles, and to clear any part of the frame. I pull the pins, turn the jacks vertical, place a wooden block or two as needed under each jack, and crank the handle to push the jack leg down to the block to support the rear of the trailer. You can then drive your equipment on the trailer, the trailer will not lift up the front of the trailer, or your shocks, or risk coming un hooked and damaging your tailgate.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing 👍 that sounds awesome.
That is a really good idea. I have seen that setup in action before. The dovetail on my trailer doesn't cause the tongue to lift as much as a regular straight deck or deckover, though. But that issue is for sure why I make sure to chock the wheels, put the parking brake on, put the truck in 4wd, and make sure I am on solid, level ground.
Good video wit good info Hank and Brandell. Loving the orange tractor videos.
Lol. I hear ya man. That's a nice Tractor for sure. We had to make sure it didn't fall off 😁
I'm slowly trying to convert him!
Great video, lots of good tips! I chain my axles and cross the chains. Ratchet straps on any implements that are attached. Fun one for me is loading with the backhoe attached. The trailer is rather high and the backhoe hits the ground on the way up. Usually have to use the stick and bucket to push it up on the trailer.
Hey, whatever works right? Hope all is well Bryon.
I'm always afraid of damaging components by strapping to the axle. That's why I added the tiedown points to my Kioti. It seems most people have success there, but I get nervous of damage.
I understand your caution. I make sure the chains are well clear of tie rods and three point arms. I don’t worry about the heavy cast axles, but I’m a mechanic from way back and will hit anything with a big hammer without fear, lol.
That's some great info Hank, thanks for sharing this!!!!🍒👍
Thank you Larry. Stay warm Friend
Good information. Great time down job.
Thank you buddy
New sub here, thank you for the reminder because there are some areas where a shortcut is not advisable.
Welcome and thank you for the comment. Safety is so important, that's for sure. Have a good one!
Really good tips guys! Have a good one!
Thanks John. You too👍
This may have already been mentioned, me being an old flatbed trucker I noticed that you did run your chain through the stake pocket which is the correct way, but you should always have the hook on the top of the pocket not the bottom, if the chain should come slack the hook could fall down (gravity) always hang the hook on the top of the pocket or rail so if the chain does become slack the hook will still be hanging on the pocket....again gravity. Great video guys!
Thanks Bill👍
Very good tiedown advise here. Worked in the world of equipment for 40 years and have seen more than a couple of pieces of equipment lost off trailers. All do to inadequate tiedown. Equipment with steel tracks was about 2/3 of the incidents.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
Great video and very informative. Tractor Mike has some great videos on transporting tractors on his TH-cam channel to.
Yeah I like his channel a lot. He is super smart on this stuff👍
Yes, he does an excellent job. Very informative, too.
Good info! I need to get better at that. I think balancing the load itself is equally if not more important peice that you didnt talk about. A thing called negative tongue weight is a term I became very familiar with when I almost flipped towing a tractor for the first time. In part because of my lack of knowledge and experience and 2. I trusted the Guy who improperly balanced the load on the trailer. We thought we knew what we were doing but we were wrong. Fish tailing down the rd at 55mph well I was like Carrie Underwood Jesus take the wheel. LOL. Fortunately I didnt hit the brakes I gave it gas instead and recovered, but very scary. Thanks good vid!
Yeah lots to consider for sure. Thanks for the comment 👍
Catching up on this video. Good info.
Appreciate it. Hope you have a good day 👍
The weight that is stamped on the tractor is the weight of the tractor only. The attachments are not added to the weight. You have to add them in. For instance. If you add the front loader you have to add the proper weight by what size front loader you have installed. 1 yards, 1.5 yard 3 yard. Whatever the correct size is. Then the back is the same. Is a hoe ram or is a backhoe being attached. Then on top of that. All the attachments must be tied down separately from the tractor. You did a good video. You are putting people on the right track. All ways check DOT regulations. They are very strict.
That's a true statement. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍
Hamiltonville Farm yes sir. YW
Very good job. It's not going anywhere. Since you asked how to make it even better, I have a few suggestions. I would have a D ring on that front frame so your ratchet can connect directly to it (less chain/potential failure points=win.) You might also want to tie down (ideally) or at least block 2 of the 4 tires. You can always add a permanent, custom front chuck (4" high?) on that deck (if it's what you primarily tow all the time- maybe in front of the front right, and rear right wheels. Not sure if you were using a weight distributing hitch or not but they can be helpful. Place a rubber mat between any and all surfaces that will rub on the chain. Spray paint the specific links on the chains where you always connect them as future reference points- again, if you load this truck regularly. Run tie downs on each of those steps. Now for my top tip- fabricate a nice, strong lip on the front of that deck that the shovel can basically slide/lock into. This will add incredible strength overall tie down design- think in terms of front, lateral and upside down. In trucking- anything goes. Also, running a strong chain dead center mass from underneath that ties into the frame and cinch that down too.
Thanks for the input!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Sure.
Impressive setup guys. I kept wondering about the center of the trailer, it looked like the tractor might be too far forward on the trailer, and I was wondering about the truck size and determination of towing requirements and hitch requirements. Very interesting calculations involved for a safe setup. Thank you.
Very cool stuff! Thanks for sharing! id love to put some rings front and back on my kubota! I could see the rings handy for hauling and skidding stuff as well!
You could probably get away with zip ties for yours😂😂😂
@@HamiltonvilleFarm HAHA that was a good one LOL I actually use bread ties :)
Your friend has very good taste in tractors. It only lacks one thing A Rhinohide canopy!
I'm working on him👍
💥 This thumb should get you some big views! You beat me to it though, I had the same idea to use this same pic in a future vid. I’ll be watching to see how well this does.
Keep on tractoring 👍
Wish me luck...lol. Thanks for watching brother.
we usually just drive our tractors every wheres in the towns into the big city in the winter wich getting lots of mileage on them
@@michaelmactavish1728 I guess the snow isn't as harsh on the tires if you're driving on snow? I'm in Florida so we don't get that stuff here😂
lucky your bx is solid metal ah jon lol not made like deeres or newhollands made recyle plastic lol
Great info. I have a 6x8 block of wood I put under the back of the trailer. Keeps the truck from going up when the weight of the tractor is on the rear of the trailer. Works for me.
Yeah that is a good idea👍
I guess I should give credit to my brother. His idea. But it keeps the trailer pretty level.
I keep a cheapo Harbor Freight 2-ton jackstand with my trailer and use that under the rear center. I’ve loaded my 6500# tractor without it and it really lifts the backend of my F150
@@extraacct478 cool👍
Some great information buddy 👍👍 Better be safe than sorry
Thank you John. I appreciate you.
Great safety
Thank you. I appreciate the comment
When you wrap your hook ends into the stake pocket, make sure they are hanging right side up. If that chain gets a bit loose, gravity will help unhook them. Hook them the other way around then run them around the stake pocket....OR, fab you up some quality stake pocket D-rings and hook the chain to itself.
A good point y'all made is putting the truck in 4/wheel drive or chocking the front wheels on a 2/wheel drive. The orange tractor is a big plus also.
Lol. It is a nice tractor. Thanks brother 👍
the new 2020 kubota M8-211 is a monster big beast
I have a question about the D ring mount. I just bought a CK3510. Did he use the same bolt holes that were in the bottom of the front rack with longer bolts and nuts and is it 3/8 plate he used. Thanks!
Also remember axle ratings are not the capacity of the trailer. A lot of people think that is the case when it’s not. Ex: my trailer has 2 7,000lb axles. So according to the manufacturer it’s a 14k trailer however, you have to take the weight of the trailer out of that 14k. So I have a 14k rated trailer but the trailer weighs 4,550lbs so my actual load capacity is 9,450. I know there’s a lot of people with homemade trailers so they don’t have that info tag, but maybe this will help someone.....also instead of wrapping the chain around and having the hook like he had it, put it so the hook is at the top so if something happens the hook will stay hooked to the trailer.
Thanks for that tip on the hook. I'll make sure to change it up next time!
yeah good point about the weight of the trailer being included and home made trailers. I should have mentioned that, because it is important.
What would you charge to deliver a compact tractor 🚜 from Okebe? Florida to Huntsville Ar? Thanks.
One of the main things I always try to consider when hooking a chain to a trailer no matter what your hauling is "gravity"... Think of it like this .. let's say your hauling a car and you have it good and tied down .. when you hit a bump is gravity going to loosen your load if a chain is hooked from the bottom of a bracket and you hit a big enough bump is your chain going to fall off ??? I always hook the chain from the top then go underneath the bracket and then to the item in tow
Thanks Mike!
I think you need to put a chain on the bucket. Once you shutoff the tractor tractor hydraulics loose pressure. That bucket could start shift around as you go down the road.
Hmmm, you didn't like the chain we had on it? Maybe you missed that part? You're right, you gotta chain it all down!
The D ring on the front is a single point. Having 2 chains on it, regardless of how heavy the chains are or ring is, is a single point attachment. That is little different from just looping a single chain or strap through the ring. You need a separate anchor point on the front.
Separate anchor points on trailer and load, front and rear. Talk to a wrecker driver about how to secure a rolling load onto the bed.
Thanks for watching 👍
Good information but point out position of equipment on the trailer related to how the tow vehicle rear settles/adjust to lessen sway and control at speed.
I think you should have four separate chains hooked to four separate points. Just saying! Also I don’t care for the way you put the hook in the pocket because the chain could fall off if the chain became loose. I believe you should always have the chain hooked to the top of the pocket!
very good video, however stake pockets are made for just that. not a tie down point in my book. The D rings on the frame of the trailer are for tying down. just my 2 cents
Clevis in the drawbar is how I tie the rear end down
10-4. Right on👍
Two things that I have seen happen: One is to put a 2 5/16 trailer on 2 inch hitch. It seems obvious, but the trailer will come off and really mess up back of truck. The other is tire inflation. If your tires are underinflated, the trailer can start swaying left to right.
I've been guilty of under-inflated tires. Not fun.
The safest way to make sure you’re not lifting the back of your truck install two stabilizer jacks on the back corners of the trailer and you won’t ever have any issues of the weight lifting the truck. Super cheap fix.
Good point👍
I use 2 straps and 2 chains. I do like having shorter straps and chains for tieing down loads I normaly move. Theres no reason for a 20ft chain when 4ft is needed.
So true , John Deere compacts are all plastic not like a MF which is all metal.
Yep👍
When hooking direct, which is one end on load and the other attached to the trailer, the working load limit is half of the chain or binder. If hooked indirect, which is across the load, the the working load limit is the full capacity of the chain or binder. The total working load limit must be equal to at least half of the weight of what you are hauling. And always be sure to get your load limits from the lowest rated item, which if all chains and binders are the same size, the lowest rating should be the chain.
And please, always have a vehicle that is heavy enough to stop the loaded trailer
Ah! Good point about the weights. And yes..please get a truck heavy enough 👍
That’s how I always do mine, I have a homemade frame on the front of my tractor. I run the chain a crossed that frame on the front and through the drawbar mount on the back. Then a strap or two on whatever is on the back of my tractor.
@@groundupexcavation 👍👍
That's some really good information and terminology. I've never heard of the "direct" and "indirect" differentiation of chain/tie down attachment before. Thanks for that!
YOUNG MAN ,
I HAVE 1998 GMC SHORT WHEEL BASE PICKUP , WILL LOAD UP TOO : 10,500LBS / BECAUSE REAR AXLES IS 3 . 73 AND COIL SPRING SHOCKER !
That's cool!
A modern half ton could tow that setup there. Most are rated to 10k or more now. Just make sure you’re drivetrain warranty is intact!
Having a good trailer with tandem 5k axles and good brakes is perfect for the kioti ck10 series and a few implements.
But over 10k, you’re definitely in gooseneck territory.
Yes sir. I appreciate the comment 👍
I like the thumbnail I look at that and ask how the heck?
Lol. I know right 🤷🏻♂️😂
you zoomed in on the front of the tractor where he made the D ring but you never zoomed in on the back where the three-point hitch was
👍
Do your homework on Chains , Binders, Straps, since I have found when I haul skidsteers the Cat has suspension so it tends to bounce and work loose where as my Kubota has solid frame and once its tied down its on
Yeah good point AJ.
DOT requires 4 chains for a tractor; not 3. Also, the FEL is a separate attachment so it requires 2 chains on it. Any optional attachments (box blade, land plane, back hoe, etc) need to have 2 chains securing them as well.
Trailer not big enough can be a big problem. Know your weights . When it comes to safety don’t watch me lol
Lol. I hear ya Todd. We do some sketchy stuff too. Lol
thats why my kubota dealer sells verilty sizes of trailers from small ,medium, large, mid size and the ,extra large ones for the sami trucks wich pretty good everything sold all at 1 stop
A good dealer selling tractors and trailers is very important. The service you going to need in the future is very important . All the implements are added weight. Buying local can help tremendously .
@@ReapWhatYouSeauxLeJeune yeah my kubota dealer even sells case IH and verilty of full sizes of case construction equipment, and forestry equipment and tools,and parts,and toys for kids wich there free when percheseing any kubota and case equipment wich ive have a best kubota dealer here in canada plus he ships any kubota equipment anywheres all over canada and usa wich is great a 1stop shop
I hate click bait..
Me too. Good thing my title is what is actually what the video discusses and we put that picture in the video to drive home the point about safely loading tractors onto trailers so no one would think that about this video
@@HamiltonvilleFarm No matter how you paint it, still click bait. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment though, you really care about your viewers. I've never seen a channel reply to so many comments like you do. Yes it was a really good video about safety.

hahahahahahahaha lol plastic tractors yeah deeres and newhollands are recyable tractors wich kubotas are solid steel and metal
Caught that did ya??😂😂
@@HamiltonvilleFarm yeah wich i agree plus we hate ours alot even the newholland same material crapy plastic wich were planing replacing them all someday in the feature for all new solid beefy heavy solid steel kubotas
