All,
Two questions about transporting tractors. Have a jd2510 tricycle and a farmall 300 tricycle and plan to transport each separately on a gooseneck. Am planning to use a clevis on the back hitch and use that to chain down the rear of tractor with one chain and ratchet binder to each side (~45 degrees). Assume that rear setup is ok.
QUESTION A: On the front would a chain behind the steering housing between tricycle tires be the way to go. Seems like it would hit tires when pulled out 45 degrees each way?
QUESTION B: Have a 4430 with koyker 510 front end loader and hx15 shredder to haul (all at once). Assuming tractor, loader and shredder will be getting close to 20,000 pounds. On a 30 ft gooseneck it seems like quite a bit of weight will be forward of trailer wheels, because of length required to get shredder on trailer. Will that be too much weight on rear end of 97 F350 single axle long bed diesel pickup?
Thanks
