Good choice Brock! Straps are the way to go!

WLL ( working load limit )of a3/8” G-70 chain is 6600 lbs. . Two inch racket webbing 3333 lbs. WLL. Good idea placing stands under rear of trailer when loading .

I am considering getting a trailer for my Deere. Thank you for all the tips & tricks about size, loading & tying down the tractor. Much appreciated Brock. Enjoy your day Sir

Thanks for another great video. As you said, different locations may have different regulations. It's imperative that you check local and state regulations. Chances are you won't be stopped unless you are doing something obviously wrong, but if you are stopped they generally go over everything with a fine tooth comb. I don't haul my tractor very often, so I use chains. Takes longer, but they require less attention. Both do the job well. Your time putting these videos together is greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Brock.

Yeah, I think the majority of people just keep their tractor at their property most of the time but hopefully this is helpful for guys like me who moved a lot. Thanks for watching

Carpet reminents are good protection and cheap if you know a carpet installer that will give you his scraps. That's what I used when I hauled steel and glass on a flatbed.

Not sure why I didn’t think of that. we buy carpet by the roll for our main business and have tons of leftover strips

Great video Brock. I am thinking about buying a trailer to transport my 2038R and straps are the way to go. Thanks for making this video.

Yeah, I’ve got a pretty smooth routine down with the straps

I have used straps, trying chains now. I use protector for tie down straps | neoprene pad | 4-pack | protective sleeves for ratchet straps or tie downs with cam buckle that I purchased off of Amazon to protect my straps after having the same issue you did with one getting sliced.

I’m trying to make it as simple as possible and I feel like I’ve got a pretty simple method down that works the only thing I want to add is something To protect the straps

I’ve been strapping things for years and I like these straps but I’ll use them for my riding mower but when tying down a tractor this size I would definitely use chains. Remember newbies that if you’re hauling this kind of weight your gonna need a brake controller and trailer brakes.

I appreciate your videos. And the time it takes. I could be missing something here. It looks like you have your tractor pretty far forward which would cause you to have excess tounge weight. I would think you would want your trailer back a little. Obviously you need some tounge weight. After commenting I started working, youtube autoplayed another video of yours where you adressed tounge weight.

I just purchased a 16 foot GN dump trailer…… plan to do a review on my channel as well……. Thanks for the strap explanation…… I will be using them too.

You don't have to secure the JD. Just select the first gear, take the break and drive slowly 😂👍👍

Yeah, that John Deere doesn’t go anywhere it doesn’t want to. I really just try the trailer to it so I don’t lose the trailer

Go to your local fire department and see if they have any old fire hoses that you can get to run the straps inside of to prevent a sharp edge from cutting it.

Chains for primary locations are my choice. Straps as backup.

I use a chain in the back and straps on the front. I made a similar video about this.

Brock - I have been trailer shopping for my JD 1025R. The PJ T1 tilt trailer 16 ft caught my attention after chatting with the owner or another tilt trailer. Unloading mulch, topsoil, etc become so much easier. This is a single axle 7000# trailer designed for small equipment like a skid steer. They are uncommon since they cost more than the non-tilt. What do you think of them? For my application?

I can’t really give any kind of expert advice, but I do like the versatility of being able to pull your machine in the same trailer that you all your materials in. Dump trailers are fantastic. I’ve got a couple videos about Hauling a tractor in mine, which was dual 7000 pound axles. You just need to take measurements on length because you might be surprised how quickly you run out of room with one attachment

Ya the FB groups always get in a heated debate about this lol. I myself use both chains and straps its not that big of a deal to me and I know that my straps are way over rated lol.

i'm going to be building a trailer in the next few weeks for hauling my tractor around ( yanmar ym330d) ... is there anything you would change to your set up ?

@RockhillfarmYT

I ended up replacing this trailer with a gooseneck. This trailer has 3500 pound Axel’s for a total capacity of 7000 pounds. The trailer itself weighs 1800 so I can put 5200 pounds on it With the stump Grinder or Backhoe my tractor can weigh as much as 6000 pounds So, depending on what your tractor weighs, I might recommend higher rated Axels Otherwise I was happy with the design of the trailer

For the average 30 hp or smaller tractor 🚜 a 16 foot trailer is plenty big. I use a 20 foot trailer for my 60 hp tractor with a backhoe

Another important point is not that your truck can pull the weight, but can it STOP it?? Must have trailer brake control added to your truck if not already equipped with it. I need to add that to my truck when I buy a trailer for my tractor.

That’s a good point. The truck shown in the video did have a brake controller. I have since I upgraded to a Ram 2500 that also has the brake controller.

How much does your load weigh

I probably have a dozen videos relating to that topic. Tow capacity, Payload, tongue way, GVW are. It’s a complicated topic I use WeighSafe gauges to know how much my tongue weight is.
