Tractor tie-downs

[imarobot]

Not sure that this is the right forum to place this, but here it is.
I have a 14' dump trailer that I use to transport my L5740 tractor when needed. Because the trailer is on the short side for this tractor, I remove the bucket and place the front of the loader up against the front wall of the trailer so that the tractor can't move forward. This also gives me more room to tie down the back of the tractor.
However, I find that there are no good tie down points on the front and back of the tractor to connect the tiedown chains to.
Any suggestions on how/where to do this would be appreciated.

I bought these for my L5460. They are rugged and take the guesswork out of where to tie down.

Just do a google search for tractor tie downs. Allot listed. Find one that fits your tractor. If you have a tractor supply near by, they should have some.

I found existing bolt points and grade 8 bolts on my BX - D rings from Harbor Freight

Those are ridiculously expensive! $139 for one!

I welded on D-rings to the front "bumper" or weight bracket on both tractors. I have a spare front bumper for the MX and will redo the D-rings when I finally get around to fabricating a custom grill guard.

139 per set. Still pricey but i don't have a welder.

I really like those binders.

Oh, I was confused by the second link which shows both brackets but only one bracket is shown in the first link. $139 is way more palatable and a good option for many.

I'm thinking about welding rings to the drawbars as close to the tractor as possible for tie down points. Perhaps a plate with a hole on both sides that wraps around the drawbar. Very easy to do and cheap.

I don’t have photos, but I’ll explain the best I can. What I do on the dump trailer:
The rear is chained through a D ring shackle that is attached to the draw bar.
The front end is strapped around the loader mounting tubes with chokers. On the flatbed trailer I use the chokers on the front tires like a car.

Throw a chain over the axle-housings. Simple.

Those Peerless binders work well but I wanted six binders so I bought a couple of Easy Binders a few months ago but have yet to use them. Looks like I'll be trying them out in a week or so.
