    Ok done. Loading was fun. 12’9” tall 16’ 4” wide. *I cheated it and intentionally rotated base to have sticking out mostly on pass side* Had a tire fail. No issue just remove as it’s even lighter then I thought.
    The chain was to control tipping, to lift it upright. Not to secure it during transport.
    3 main straps. One on front pulling down, back from 1.5” lip of top opening. Not cranked down really hard. 2nd 2 27’ straps centered top 1/3 of tank. The chain, strap to welded tie downs were loading, unloading only. Rear strap slight forward, down. Working limit of one strap likely plenty for weight entire unit. But straps cheap, reusable so 4 3333 working load straps used. *+1 on unit, but not used*
    Rode fine, pulled ok. Semi trailer would get height close to catching loose wire. Plus no beaver tail that made loading simple. Yes I could have slid it ahead. But hitch weight, easy Unloading…and room for ladder. IMG_8586.png IMG_8584.png IMG_8583.png
