Howdy, this is my first posting on this forum after purchasing a new-to-me 2018 Kubota L6060HSTC. I'll be hauling the tractor a couple hundred miles to my location, half of which will be on interstate roads.
I've got a question regarding hauling. I calculate the tractor, FEL & back blade weighs about 6,800 lbs. After reviewing a bunch of videos and information on this forum, I'm planning on using 2 independent chains on the rear (with 2 binders) and a single 2" ratchet strap through the FEL cross tube.
It appears to me that the best way to tie the chains to the rear is with a large clevis hooked onto the drawbar. The two rear chains would be each connected to the clevis on the draw bar and tied back to the trailer.
Does this arrangement make sense, or are there other ways to connect hold downs to the tractor? I don't recall any specific hold down lugs on the tractor designed for hauling.
Thanks in advance for any information, and it's good to see a forum dedicated to us Kubota owners.
