Tie downs B2601

[Rocky100370]

Not sure if I’m in the right thread or not. Where do you all tie down your machines when hauling? Pics would be greatly appreciated! TIA

On mine I connect 2 straps to the frame in the front, and cross them making an X.

On the back I put a D ring in the tow bar and connect 2 straps.

I set the brakes and keep it in low range. Any 3 point attachments I lower onto the trailer.

Never had any movement when hauling,

I chain down at the 4 corners, chain around each axle. 4 short chains with a single hook and 4 ratchet load binders. Fast and easy, very secure as well.

With our compact tractors being pretty small (duh), I found it challenging to get the chains and binders where I wanted them. The bucket or rear implement seem to always be just a little in the way.

A few years ago, I started using lasso tire straps and haven’t looked back. I found 12’ straps that work really well on the rear tires of my B2650. I can have all four corners strapped down to my trailer in no time, and she’s solid.

I’ve always been a chain & binder guy, but these are really nice to use and are plenty strong.

D-ring on the towbar for the rear. D rings on two random bolt holes on the front. Ratchet straps through both, and if the loader is on, ratchet strap over the top of the loader arms near the bucket.
