I have a JD 4066R with multiple implements to trailer to Mississippi. After securing the tractor are you required to strapped the front end loader bucket if it is attached to the loader?
I agree - but is it secure enough for a DOT officer having a bad day?I never worry about the bucket, it's already mounted on the loader securely enough for me.
I really like their trailers they use in Europe. A small deck over aluminum trailer would be really handy.Funny, here in the US we need 3/4 ton diesel trucks with 20k GCWR to pull compact tractors around.
Yet in the Autobahn country and elsewhere they seem to have different towing standards... and different towing vehicles!
Funny to look at a Subaru Forester in the US with a 3500 pound towing rating (bicycle rack level) and then look at the euro version with diesel engines and 2 speed transfer cases and half ton truck-like towing capabilies.

Your right, the more straps one uses the better, it has nothing to do with how the strap may be attached and the function of it(I don't believe we can call overkill ignorant
