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.
Thursday is the day I make the move. I plan on missing the scales, but want to look good enough that the odd driveby won't feel obligated to stop me. |
