This is the first load for my 2015 F150 3.5 Ecoboost. If it pulls as good as my 2011 I'll be happy. The 11 had 3.73 gears and this one has 3.55. Chuck
I used a Draw Tite with the ball you can you can flip over. That was the only one available at the time. B&W is available now but costs quite a bit more. Kaufman trailers will make what ever length you want. Chuck(quoted from post at 22:06:08 05/10/15) I should have asked in my first reply, what type of hitch did you put in? My uncle had a B&W (I think was the name) in his pickup, the main frame mounted to the frame and a hole was drilled in the box fir a ball that could be flipped over to keep the bed floor open to slide things in.
I dont have any intentions of getting a trailer much bigger than what you have, I'm just tired of loading my tractor on my car trailer and then loading my plow on the back sideways to take to plowing bee's.

"Just takes one every 10 ft"
Wrong.
That is for pallet freight or lumber.
Does not apply to wheeled or track machinery.

"If that's not the proper way then I guess myself and a lot of guys I know around here are in the wrong"
Then maybe you and guys around you should also research and study tie down laws.
Things I see wrong.
Looks to me he is using straps not chains. Not a real problem if he had them pulled in a straight line to the hook point. You can only use straps if you pull in a straight line. You can not let it bunch where it goes around the tire and pull at a angle to the hook on the end of the strap.
But lets throw that out since they may be chains. Hard to tell from the picture.
The one thing that really jumps out and is unmistakably a violation is the implement.
All implements must be lowered to the trailer deck and tied down.
ss55, No I did not lower it down, was only going about a mile to the plow site, when I go further I lower and bind it and yes that is a 14,000lb. rated trailer. Chuck(reply to post at 09:05:31 05/12/15)
Congratulations. Nice looking truck and trailer. I am new to all of this and have been researching trucks and trailers to haul my 6000 lb tractor. I have been leaning towards the F150 EcoBoost but didn't know if it was enough truck. Thanks to your post that looks like a good solution for me.(quoted from post at 16:44:52 05/08/15) This is the first load for my 2015 F150 3.5 Ecoboost. If it pulls as good as my 2011 I'll be happy.
