Wi | tim42163 - 3/5/2013 15:32 Lowell, I have a appointment with a DOT officer who is coming to my house on Thursday. I also have a large skid loader and trailer here. And I will print out your post and present it to the officer, if okay with you. I will let you know what the officer says. I am sure four chains is overkill. I use two chains on the main machine, and one on the boom/bucket. Binders on the drivers side so I can see them in my mirror. I use 3/8 chains, and 5/16 or 3/8 chain on the boom. Maybe the 5/16 chain is sufficient, but I use the 3/8 on the main machine.
Is your passenger side mirror broken?
Most want binders on each side as it is anyways.
It is much safer to check binders on the road on the passenger side. |
