Would You Haul This?

And he never answered your original question. Probably pulls a van on a dedicated no touch account

 

Who's "he"? As in, who are you referring to?

 

glad someone else knows this, some of these guys got x-chain on the brain.

 

True, now that I can see the actual 45° angle (roughly) on the securement. (viewing on better/larger screen). It does serve the same purpose and agreed, shorter is better.
Originally, it appeared as only straight longitudinal (forward/rearward) securement.
Note: By X-chain, I was referring to the X-directional hold only, not necessarily a full "across the trailer" cross chain. The direction of tie-downs is what's important.

My comment above clarifies my viewpoint.


As for the Op saying the weight of the 10 yr old Deere 160 is 12k less than Deere's 2013 model, I have yet to have seen any 160 with that drastic a weight loss between the years.
In fact, I've never seen one under 34-35k, and that's going back over 10 years.

 

Would this be the same one you pulled? http://www.ritchiespecs.com/specifi...r&make=John+Deere&model=160C+LC&modelid=92333

 

All BS'ing aside - that's a pretty cool set-up. I don't think I've ever saw an excavator on anything other than a lowbed!

 

No, i was just asking a question since it looked similar in pictures...

BTW im sure most people would haul that if the pay was good, that is all that matters at the end of the day
