I just bought a Kubota L 4701 and will pick it up Wednesday. I need to figure out how to secure it to my trailer. I have 4 10 5/16 grade 70 chains and 4 binders. Where should I place my chain? Pics would help me. Thanks.

Does it have a front end load? Grill guard? Draw Bar? Any implements?

Front end loader, didn稚 request grill guard so I知 not 100%. Also not sure on the draw bar, doubt they through them in these days. No implements.

My L3200 had a drawbar. I chained to the brush guard & a clevis through the hole in the end of the drawbar. Around axles works well too.

The grill guard used to come with the FEL but who knows nowadays... Grill guard is where I tie mine down. Also, as Fallon said, the drawbar (if it comes with one). If not, you can tie down where the drawbar slides into. Pretty strong area.

Google "tractor tie down", look at images...

I hate chain directly on my equipment. I use short axel straps and clip into them. I generally wrap each axel and secure at 45 degrees (or so).

I tie my tractor down twice on both axles and twice on the bucket (6 points of tie down) I then drive a few miles (10-15 miles), pull over and re-tighten everything. Something a majority of folks forget to do.

I saw someone lose a riding lawn mower a couple years ago by not checking the tie downs. Good thing they weren't being tailgated.
