tractor is loaded onto a trailer to ship it to another location by using
a loading dock. Feed supply and farm equipment stores often have
loading docks that can be used by the public for free or for a small
fee. A loading dock is made to accommodate the height of semitruck
trailers so that the lawn mower
can be easily driven onto the trailer bed. If no loading dock is
available then a lowboy trailer with a detachable neck is required for
ground loading.
Call your local feed supply or farm equipment supply store and set up an appointment to use their loading dock.- wood chipper
Back the trailer up to a loading dock, set the parking brake and put
wheel chocks in between the tires to keep it from rolling. Ask two
people to stand at the rear of the trailer on both sides to be spotters.
Instruct the spotters to point in toward the trailer when the tractor
needs to drive inward and to point out away from the trailer when the
tractor needs to drive outward. Tell them that crossing their arms is
the signal to stop.
Drive the tractor onto the loading dock and line
up the front or rear wheels with the sides of the trailer. Do this by
driving forward and paying attention to the spotters on each side of the
trailer. Put the tractor in its lowest gear and open all windows so you
can hear the spotters.
Drive the tractor forward slowly shifting
your eyes from one spotter to the other and looking straight forward for
keeping the hood of the tractor centered with the center of the trailer
bed. Stop the tractor in the center of the trailer.
Hook a cargo
chain around the inner axle of each of the tractor's four tires. Pull
the front axle's chains toward the front of the trailer and hook the
hooks to the guardrail of the trailer frame and pull the rear axle's
chains toward the rear of the trailer and hook the hooks to the
guardrail. This will keep the tractors for sale from moving forward and backward while in transit.
Attach a chain binder to each of the chains and winch the binder down
tight with the chain winch bar. The end of the winch bar goes up over
the binder handle and is then pulled downward with your hands and body
weight until the binder locks into place.
