I can see that, I started out young and oversize, so being young missed out on the stressful aspect of it, or at least that is the story I am going with. lol
Some long overhangs, you have to watch your tail swing in places, but sounds like you got her done with no problems. Then again, if you have a long tractor like mine and can overhang the front, you have to pay close attention when turning in somewhere tight, it can reach out there and grab something if you don't. lol

That's as tight as I feel comfortable with still having to make turns lol.
OLDSKOOLERnWV, kylefitzy and clausland Thank this. -

Looks like you have it handled. Just be mindful of the tail swing if you get into a tight spot and have to turn.

I was aware of the problem of course.
Had a 12x60. Double T. Had 6ft over the front of a 48. Making a turn into the site (fairly tight gate to be coming in but did it daily, miss judged it that day.) , the wing of the T was tall enough to clear the fence. However.
The wood clamp I put on the wing to hold on my flag, hung down enough to get ripped off by the fence, oops.cke Thanks this. -
Not what I would call on oversize load. Was it wider that the trailer? Was it taller than 14 foot.
This was a long load, not quite the same, but takes some consideration just as any other.
read your permits, all pages. If any doubt, check the states DOT pages. All the information is on the permits for the state requirements. County and city, most likely not.
Usually have to call them to get the required information and permits.FerrissWheel Thanks this.
