I suggest that you go to court. Officers and DOT inspectors make their own interpretation of the laws and regulations. That's not to say that Indiana law is not more stringent than the federal regs. Local laws can supercede the federal requirements. It's like OSHA requirements, they are the minimum with some local jurisdictions requiring more.

By the federal regs, the only thing he could have written you up on was that your skidsteer is longer than 10 feet and requires at least 3 tiedowns.
