Good ways to secure TYM 474 while transporting?

[TYM 474 Owner]

Just curious if anyone has any tips or pictures they could share of the best way to secure the TYM 474 during transport. It does not have any tie down points and I typically use chains and wrap around axles. I have seen people use the draw bar with a clevis/pin but I read somewhere that it was not a safe way to secure.

Thanks

I lower the bucket, set the brake, and use a chain around each axle.

That's how I do it as well.

Explain why using the drawbar isn’t a secure anchor location?

I can't explain it, I read where someone else was saying it was not a secure anchor location.

I use 4 sets of chains and binders. One each on each trailer front corner coming back to the front corners of the tractor frame, and 2 sets of chains and binders coming off of the clevis hitch in the draw bar going back to each back corner of the trailer.

I would stop using whatever "source" told you that a draw bar with a clevis hitch in it is not a secure anchor point.

I've always found plenty of tie downs on tractors. Wheels, loader frame, drawbar, etc.

I use axle straps on and chains with a total of two binders has worked great for me hauling my tractor to jobs for thousands of miles in the last 4 years.
