MOST tractors have space between the rear rim and the rim centers.. little holes if you will... run a chain or strap through the holes and pull it tight against the rims to the trailer. If the tires stay, the tractor will stay....THis is your most important tie down..Its short, straight, and tight, close the floor of the trailer. No slack to play out and allow movement.
strap or chain across the middle..
straps or chains over and around the front axle, but never the steering rods.
tractor is low gear, low range. brakes locked. remove canvas canopys... as they will act like a parachute and tear themselves apart. Remove any seat cushions that are not bolted down and anything else that will blow/vibrate off. Even keys can come out on some tractors. Make sure tractor is far enough forward on trailer to make the truck squat a bit or it will wonder all over the road and put you in a ditch. Make sure trailer is rated for tractor and wieght, and your truck also.
After driving a short way, about 5 miles, the stop and tighten everything. This second tightning will do the finally job of pulling the tractor down to the trailer. They must act as one.. If the trailer rolls over, the tractor should stay put and go over with it.
