I trailer both my SH and SM several times a year. Here’s how I tie ‘em down:

1 – Stick a 14,000 lb capacity anchor shackle in the tractor's drawbar hole. From the shackle run a 3/8” chain to each rear corner of the trailer.

2 – In the front I have a pair of 5/8” forged eyebolts permanently attached to front frame side rails just behind the bolster. From each eyebolt run a 10K lb rachet strap to the front corner of the trailer.

3 – Run both rachet straps equally and evenly until the rear chains are good and tight.

4 – Finally I run another 10K lb rachet strap from the middle of the trailer across the top of the cluch housing (route the strap beneath the starter) then down to the other side of the trailer. Tighten this strap down so the tires are pooched out a little, then take another click or two on each of the front straps.

With this arrangement the tractor becomes one with the trailer – always rides nice and secure.
