AMEN!!

I remember an article about trailering tractors that I thought was on here, written by a fellow that thinks like you and me. Wanted to link it but couldn't find it.

It makes no difference whether it's folks hauling "hobby" tractors or working tractors (landscapers are among the worst and the best), I see a load once or twice a week that just scares the bejavers out of me. Trailers out of balance and running all over the road, chains or straps just flapping in the breeze, tires with sidewalls that look like a turtle shell, trailer jacks draging the ground (not because they didn't raise them) . . . you name it.

I'm gonna look some more for that article, and will post a link to it if I can find it. There was some carping in it, but if you could get past that, it also was full of sound advice about trailer capacity and condition, securing the load, and loading and getting it down the road safely.

Bottom line, safety trumps expense and convenience every time.
