    Rate my Haul job - 1st time hauling heavy equipment

    Thanks. It towed well, and I also appreciate how much I've learned in this thread to do it even better next time.

    That is one heck of a resource! Saving. Thanks!

    Rate my Haul job - 1st time hauling heavy equipment

    I think I just trust chains more if something goes horribly wrong.

    Cement Mixer Advice

    It takes 45, 80-lb bags to make one cubic yard of concrete. That's the upper limit of what I would want to hand-mix. Your job is about 2.5 cubic yards. I'd get that delivered, personally. If you want a conventional mixer, used is the way to go. The MudMixer Evolution continuous machine looks...

    A few Ford 2N/8N/9N/Jubilee Wagner front end loaders for sale in CO

    LOL, fair enough.

    Also, talk to me about angles (the angles the chain makes between the tractor and the trailer). I know they matter, but don't understand how. I noticed Mike did an "X" pattern on the front here - was that to keep the chains out of the way of the front tires, or was there likely another reason?

    Something else I wasn't sure about as I did my own self-critique - when I see others who know what they're doing use chains, the put the hook as close to the tie-down points as possible on each end, then take the slack out of the middle with the binder pretty close to the trailer end of the...

    Allis-Chalmers C for sale in Denver

    Right?! That's what I though as well. I bet I could get it running in a few hours tops in their driveway with a fresh battery, fresh gas and a few basic tools. Wouldn't take much to get it shined up, either. I don't need it, but someone who appreciates it should snag it, or I might just buy it...

    Rate my Haul job - 1st time hauling heavy equipment

    Thanks, Dingo. I'm not convinced the front of this tractor is heavier than the rear, especially with a small two-banger and the rear wheel weights. I suspect the fulcrum on that tractor is somewhere around the front dash area, but I could be totally wrong. Many of the examples I saw of towing...

    Rate my Haul job - 1st time hauling heavy equipment

    Thanks. When do you know to use edge protection on a ratchet strap? Is the answer "always", cause the bell housing is pretty smooth. I assume you mean the slip-on web guard protectors? I was least confident about the front binder, so that's good to know for the future. If had kept the front...

    Rate my Haul job - 1st time hauling heavy equipment

    That's good feedback. I will say this - the GX has active self leveling air suspension - it doesn't matter how much tongue weight is there, you're not going to see it. There's more tongue weight there than you think. It settled at least 3-6" initially when I got the tractor in position - that's...

    A few Ford 2N/8N/9N/Jubilee Wagner front end loaders for sale in CO

    Can I ask what makes you say that? I see more of them than any other brand of loader pre circa 1960. I'd much prefer to get a JD No. 30, but I've seen exactly one so far, it was a 30 hour drive into Canada, and was in rough shape. It might be easier to build one off the No. 30 design with...

    Front weights or bumper for JD M

    Well, I say that, but looking at the N0. 30 loader, it looks like it would attach to the loader sub frame assembly itself, which makes more sense with it being grouped with the loader.
