    Help me out then,..

    Where would you have added chains?

    Not trying to be a smart axx,.. I'm very sincere with my question.

    No BS or ignorance from me.

    Took this pic cuz it was the first grader that actually has all the pics on the controls, of what they do. Most of our motor graders are as old as me. IMG_20150810_120007290.jpg IMG_20150812_124128167.jpg

    We are turning two of our old tractors into water trucks.

    Not sure exactly how your current chains are set up, but atleast 6 front and 6 back, assuming it has the securement holes in them - 2 coming off main center frame x'd to each side, 1 on each track on outside x'd to the opposite side of trailer, and 1 on inside of each track pulling to the outside of trailer on that track side.

    If no tie down point available on that side then pull from outside and x to opposite side of trailer again. Hooked to d-rings, edge of deck slid up against d ring mount so binder or chain hook doesn't slide, also those oval or triangle cut outs on side of the ramps that go to back deck

    Just seen your other post about where you put your chains at, would add another set off the outside of tracks crossing to opposite side

    I tried to get set up with Nucor. But they required too much red tape.

    If I recall ( and it's been a couple years) there was some funky insurance requirement, beyond that it wasn't bad.

    Macavoy, I noticed you are in Texas. Going to haul water in the oil field?

    I had helpers today. They're probably better at securement then half the guys out here. Lol. IMG_20150813_111624502.jpg
