I've been looking at how he ties down other stuff in the last pages of the thread and it's kinda scary... All he because he admitted to be lazy and not wanting to throw that much chain. Not trying to throw him under the bus but that's the wrong attitude in moving equipment or anything.

My bad yes 5.5 metric ton machine I had 3.5 in my head sorry.skootertrashr6 Thanks this.

@skootertrashr6 is dead on, 4 chains plus one over the boom and technically one over the blade but I've never been messed with on a machine that size.

The same ones johndeere was commenting about last week.
johndeere4020 Thanks this. -
Ummm...Mac? They did tell you that an improper securement ticket would void your Man Card for 365 days, didn't they? You're running a rollback...make it simple, 4 cheater chains and 4 binders, 2 inch strap for the boom.
Dye Guardian, truckdad, johndeere4020 and 2 others Thank this. -

Ya know what... im an idiot. I looked again, trying to belly where the dunnage is would probably end up with cut straps.... ill refrain from speaking early...
