Great video. Thanks for the lesson. Im going to get those side trailerjacks.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
There’s a D ring right there that you refuse to wrap your 3/8 chain around. Also if you alter the positioning of the mini slightly, you don’t even need to use chains you can go straight binder to the D-rings.
On this trailer there's nowhere I can position it to be able to use more than two d-rings when I need four tie down points.
Great video… I finally got a tilt trailer… much more stable and easy to load
Yea, I'm looking for a deal on one
You can use those tie down points but I put my chains from the front blade all the way to the back of the tracks, but the way you do it should be fine. As long as you have 2 tie down points that are solid. But id advice to try to keep more weight on to your axles/ tires.
the law requires a 4 point tie down. 4 separate points.
he did hook it to 4 points.. 6 to be exact
@@bele28 no he didn't
@@gregs.3723 maybe count again?
4 points are only needed over 10k only. That’s only an 8500 lbs machine dummy.
The transit beeper is under the windshield washer fluid revisor. Your welcome.
omg, thank you! ive been meaning to destroy that thing!

Is that an 18' trailer? 14ET-18
This one's the 16ft I also have a 20ft model.
Do you put the bucket toward the front on the 20' trailer?
@@danseely942 You can put it either way on the 20 ft trailer I generally load with the bucket towards the back but sometimes I carry attachments for the skid steer on that trailer if I need a bunch of them so it really just depends. If you have to just get one trailer definitely get a 20 ft the 16 ft works but it is quite small
@DiyCommerce I had ordered the 18', but it doesn't have the Mega ramps. So the dovetail has a slope to it. I was trying to figure out the best direction for the bucket. If I put the bucket in the back, it may be positioned on the slope of the beavertail. I am not certain if the weight distribution will allow it to be in the forward direction. Any thoughts?
@@danseely942 It would really just depend on where the axles of the trailer are it's okay if the elbow of the excavator so to speak is over the back just a little bit. More than likely it will be better to have the bucket towards the rear. I'm honestly torn on the mega ramps, they're nice because you don't have to aim but they're also quite steep and it's very sketchy loading the skid steer forwards on it where a lot of the ramp trailers have a better angle.
What ever you do don't use this guy as anything but 100% wrong way to chain down a piece of equipment everything is wrong. The chains need to hook to themselves you don't hook the hooks to the equipment or the trailer, the chain binder hook in the middle of the chain not to the trailer or equipment, when ever possible use the d ring that are designed to be anchor not the side pocket made out of a lighter material lower grade steel that doesn't have to meet same inspection requirements or safety requirements because they Are not ment to anchor heavy loads. Oh and also you tide the the bucket down wrong if the mini move at all its going to be free you go through right above the bucket.
The stake pockets have a weight rating and this tiny machine is within the weight limit.
@@DiyCommerce ya most have a rating of little over 5k but how that is figure and how you are hooked to one side changes how much it will actually take to rip the welds. Ya the you playing with a small piece of equipment but if you have any reason had chain slack and that mini has any ability to move and yank on the stake pockets it hitting with more force then you think so why do you bother to by big heavy chains and talk about over kill when hook them to a weak point on the trailer may as well use great 43 5/16 that would cost about half what you paid and since the point you hook to is good enough they be good enough to grade 43 5/16 probably still rip them stake pockets off before breaking.
