I suggest that you go to court. Officers and DOT inspectors make their own interpretation of the laws and regulations. That's not to say that Indiana law is not more stringent than the federal regs. Local laws can supercede the federal requirements. It's like OSHA requirements, they are the minimum with some local jurisdictions requiring more. I can't vouch for Indiana's laws, but it would not be the first time that an officer of the law issued an invalid citation. According to part 393.130a, "Vehicles, equipment and machinery which is lighter than 10,000 lb may also be secured in accordance with the provisions of this section, with 393.128, or in accordance with the provisions of 393.100 through 393.114." Part 393.128b1 states that "Automobiles, light trucks, and vans must be restrained at both the front and rear to prevent lateral, forward, rearward and vertical movement using a minimum of two tiedowns." By the federal regs, the only thing he could have written you up on was that your skidsteer is longer than 10 feet and requires at least 3 tiedowns.
