    About 3'. Some are as low as 34" up by the step.

    My trailer is 34" at the step and 40" above the wheels. I can move the leveling valve down 2 notches and drops it to 38" before loading

    46k rock crusher unit. Had to slip back into my tanker-yanker mindset on this one. Glad I remembered to slow down for curves and to make turns.

    I don't know why, but I would have hooked the top chains one chain pullup farther away from the piece and crossed the chains on the front and back.

    Yeah, my 3/8 chains don't get used very much anymore except for those plates. And those have been hauled all winter, hence all the rust.

    I tried that at first, but the way the lifting eyelets are made, the chain was pinching on the edge of the machine. So I went with this way. Hard to see or explain I guess
