    D=6H Hwy1.jpg Try some conveyor belting for your deck. I used this stuff all my adult life. Best material is 3/8 to 1/2" thick. I took a 16' piece by 24" wide, then split it down the middle to 12" wide with a razor knife. I left them right on the deck & used them for ALL tracked equip. Improves deck life 500% & makes a wet deck not so slippery.

    Unloading the D61 on the ramps worked out pretty well. I fully expected some broken welds or the stands to crush.

    Pics are worth 1000 words.

    It's been that way since at least 1981. Here's the law for reference:

    Also worth noting is the escort requirement:

    No.. no dump valve on trailer. Not sure I would with that much weight.

    Trailer took it pretty good. I was honestly expecting some minor repairs.
    Some small nicks from the tracks was all. To be expected.
