First off I hope everyone is okay machines are a lot easier to fix than flesh and bone.I move equipment for a living and have had a lot of close calls from people thinking you can make a truck and trailer stop in a split second.If you use the trailer a lot to move this tractor make up some stops that you can run the wheels up against to keep it fron coming forward, Make sure that you are using transport rated chains with the links stamped G7 for grade 70 and good heavy binders, be sure to chain from the front and back to cross tie the machine down to hold it in place.I have seen some people use the nylon webs made to go over the front wheels and they work well.Also does your trailer have brakes and are they adjusted up right they really cut down stopping distances.Hope this helps T.J.
