As a truck driver with decks, load securement is very important. Please be aware that you failed to secure forward and backwards movement by only securing sideload stresses.
Love the new tie downs, checking to see if they can make me some for my Kubota LX series. Tip- when chaining down a load you should always angle your chains towards or away from each other front to back to keep load from shifting forward or rearward.
That's a nice add-on for your Kubota. My TYM/Branson 2515h had holes pre-drilled on the side of the frame at the front and a heavy 1/2 inch d-link worked perfectly with the existing holes. They give me the same capability with my TYM that these give you on your Kubota.
Having good tie down points can make loading so much easier and save time! It looks like a good addition to the tractor and really easy to install. Nice Job!
I first started transporting my tractor with binders and found them more time-consuming than what they were worth over the 1st year. I then ordered commercial ratcheting tie down straps with chain ends versus those hooks. You can easily hook the frame and slide the other end into a stake pocket. I can fasten either my tractor or a mini ex down at 4 points faster than installing just 2 out of the 4 binders that I was originally using. I've been using straps since 2018 and will never go back to the binders. The straps are rated at over 3,300 each, more than enough for these small units. 2 straps at the front guard / frame and 2 straps off the rear tow plate, and it's tied down at 4 points! Plus, 1 on the implement, if there is one! They are worth investing in if you move your equipment enough. I probably have close to 20 strap setups now with varying lengths
Formed wire hooks are inconvenient to use . Chain anchored ratchet straps are easily connected to a large variety of fastening points on the equipment and the trailer . Very Informative !
As others stated double check your states DOT requirement. The tractor requires 4 securement points by itself. The attachment require their own. In this case you need 8 securement points.
In California our DOT officer that does our bit inspection says 4 points of connections and a strap over the rear attachment depending on size of attachment
Nice heavy duty tie down brackets for sure! Nice 👍🏼! My subcompact Massey Ferguson came with brackets like that from the factory although the dealer did have to flip one (making it useable) to attach the belly mower when needed.
I can see how this would simplify things! Awesome product. That being said, I usually wrap around the front and rear axels because I know neither of those are going to come loose. 😜
Any time trailer any equipment, I would suggest following DOT guidelines. It is the best way to ensure you are covered by insurance if the worse happens. Just a side note-he did not ever exhibit following DIT guidelines. Not saying he did not follow then only that what he discussed and showed wee not DOT.
Dot will have the WLL of any strap or chain that is directly attached to the item being secured. 3,000lb strap down to 1,500lb and 5,000lb chain down to 2,500lb. Direct tie down (attaching to item or through item and back to same side of trailer) vs indirect tie down (across or through item to other side of trailer). Wheeled or tracked vehicles need 4 tie downs and then at least 1 for any attachments. From a flatbed/step deck driver for 6 years. 😃
I never take my loader off and I will go one farther and say I take bucket and forks job I go to. I can see how its nice not having it on but the one time you need it. Just how I do it, there is no wrong way. Safe and happy tractoring to ya.
Strips of that blue flat drainaige hose works great for strap protectors also. Ic ut 6" straps and slide them over the straps and just slide them where I need.
Final torque should be with a torque wrench. If some one did that to my truck rims , you most likely would break the studs removing them. I like your idea of tie downs.
So easy to walk into a hard ware store and but a couple 3/8s Cabell hooks and drill a 1/2 hole in each side braket and mount your hooks with pins and cotter pins that come with you purchase then you can either use chain or same ratchet stamps he uses and way more convenient because you can simply drop what ever you want to tie down with and hook and tighten down. Cost for more convenient is about12.00. And can pickup at local hardware store.
Here the loader must be strapped bucket strapped and all 4 corners of the tractor. 4 hooks 4 binders. Any implement must be strapped even when mounted to the tractor..
Thanks new sub here, thanks for sharing info on the brackets. I have a Kioti and same problem with limited tie down points. Will contact 511 and see if they might weld a set for a Kioti. 👍TCT
The law I know does not specify chains- it goes by working load. So if ratchet straps meet that working load your good. DOT regulations only pertain to commercial operators.
Dot regulations apply to all motor vehicles not just commercial!! As far as dot is concerned an improperly secured load has nothing to do with commercial or private! The tie downs added to the tractor are a great 💡 idea.
@James Klee DOT in my state only counts when it's commercial equipment. You don't even need lights on most trailers people use in my state. This trailer here would be one of them.
I'm not sure but I'm guessing to clear the tire and tie rod if they are facing forward. As far as beveled on the top, versus squared off, the MFG shows them with the square side up...I put them on with the beveled or sloped side up. They fit either way and so far I'm happy with the way I put them. Easy enough to change if I need to though. Great idea and great product.
I do two on the front on the new tie downs. Then I still do one strap on each side inside of the loader "tube", then one across the implement which of course is attached to the rear of the tractor. So 5 points total on the tractor now.
You have to tie the tractors down off each corner front and back 4 points of attachment….. then you have to tie down the loader with its own straps and any rear implements with its own strap. If you are not doing this you are breaking the law. Luckily most troopers and sheriffs departments officers could give a rats ass on anyone hauling a compact tractor and implements…… unless they are having a bad day and want to wear your ass out and they will eventually. Good luck but I would highly recommend reading your states hauling, trailering and the required tie down requirements. Most of not all states are all the same now which is the federal standard.
@@genewilliams7497 great tip…I’ve just been looking for an attachment or hooks to install on the rear of the tractor to avoid scuffing paint or metal or strapping chain around the axles.
I saw a tractor just like yours broke in half because he strapped it in the middle, he did have it strapped at both ends too, really all you need is straps at all four corners
How long is the trailer you used in the video? Im currently waiting on delivery of an L2501, but im not sure if my 16’ car carrier style trailer will be adequate. Great video btw!
It's 18' flat deck (10K). 16' car carrier will be OK if you have a box blade or tiller on it but a brush hog will stick off the back of the trailer. At 7K, a carrier has enough capacity for a 2501 + loader + implement, but a 10K 18' is a much better choice. We've had 3 different trailers for our tractors and it's my favorite.
@@PineyGroveHomestead. Thats good to know! I was wondering if 18’ was enough. I plan on leaving the 66” heavy duty box blade on the tractor as my counterweight when im not using other implements. Thanks for the quick reply!
I had to travel over 2,000 miles each way to pick up my tractor, I live in Alaska and there were no options with a cab in the state for 9 months. I just use(d) axle straps and when you cross your chains on the front they clear the steering linkage easily. It works with or without a loader, eliminates the need for midpoint lateral support, and kept a larger tractor than this in place for over 2,000 miles. This seems like an unnecessary modification to me, that doesn't really make trailering safer or easier if you just approached it differently from the beginning.
Thanks for the feedback. We had a dry summer so the pond never filled more than about 5'. It's really low now and we're waiting for it to fill back up before we treat the South half. We think the Damit slowed the leakage where it was treated though.
Those brackets look thick enough for a sub compact, but a compact tractor needs 3/8" thick of maybe 1/2" thick brackets depending upon the weight. Two significant problems in this video. First, You NEVER use straps to secure a tractor. ALL straps stretch and many tractors have flown off trailers unexpected due to strap flex. Messicks has a video covering this. A salesman was delivering a new tractor and the tractor flew off when the trailer went over a bumpy RR crossing at 25 mph. Plus DOT regulations state grade 80 chains and binders. You can get a ticket from a savvy cop who knows the law. You need 4 chains for the tractor per DOT. You need 2 chains for the front end loader. You need 2 chains on the rear implement. Second. The bolts you used are not grade 8 which is what you need for a tie down bracket.
You think that the mfgs would be smart enough have security point’s designed and build into these types of equipment. Anything that needs to be trailered to a site.
There's a problem here. When you chain something down at 30 degrees angle to the load, you are DOUBLING the load on the chain. For a 3/8 grade 70 or 80 chain, that wouldn't be a problem. Still, it's always best to not rig in this matter. ua-cam.com/video/2xwi5xo8xOQ/v-deo.html
Taking the loader of the tractor makes absolutely no sense. It counterbalances the tiller and especially the brush hog. And as far as wear and tear on the pins, if you keep everything greased properly there should be zero issues. I recommend you get a third function up front and get a grapple, and leave that on always when not using the bucket. Best attachments you can ever get.
I couldn't disagree with you more. Most compact tractors, especially the Kubota L-series are heavy enough that running typical tillage implements requires no extra weight up front. Without the loader the tractor is much more maneuverable and the sight lines around the tractor are greatly increased. Loader pins will definitely wear out even when greased.
Need to add a warning to all videos that are "instructional"...and for all those comments about load securement and what applies to commercial and non commercial. I have this to say...if your load comes loose and injures or kills someone, dot will be the least of your worries.
I'm a detail guy you put yourself out there making videos anyone can get any information on you they want and you put a towel over your truck plate sorry it makes no sense 😐
The federal motor carrier safety administration actually puts out a cargo securement manual for drivers. Does it apply to private parties.. no.

That makes sense. Thanks for watching.

Please be aware that you failed to secure forward and backwards movement by only securing sideload stresses.

If he would have angled the chains forward and aft it would have been more secure. However I like the attachment bracket!

Only requires 4 tie downs if over 10,001 lbs.

Maybe you said and I missed it, why are the brackets angled vs flat? What would the purpose be if there reversible when mounting?

Most likely to insure a 4 corner diagonal pull, not a loader mount & front side bind.
They are angled so that when attaching a chain the bracket is at the same or similar angle as the chain.
The straight angle towards the anchor point is crucial for not bending the bracket when stressed.
How do you tie down the rear part? Good demo 👍🏽
