WOW I would be concerned about that Massey on the front of the trailer. Looks like it is just barely on where the rear wheels set on the trailer and also has the other tractor leaning on it. Is that an inbound or out bound load? I sure hope it is there to be unloaded, I would not want to follow it down the road.
 
Gee, if it would help any, they could take the 165 with the industrial loader off, and ship it straight to me. Fella I worked for while in high school had one of those. Back in the 70?s that loader tractor was a force to be reckoned with. If only the tractors had been available with 4wd like the Cockshutt/Oliver/Fait built tractors of the time.
 
I wouldn't mind having that li'l John Deere with loader, but looks like it's pretty well buried.

Is there just the one strap over the spreader and nothing else?!?!? :shock:
 
Wonder how hard the landing gear will crank and if the rise enough room between the hitch of the front tractor to the back of the truck cab?
 
With any luck, he has air suspension, and didn't crank his jacks clear down, dropped it with the air system. I'm guessing he'll be lucky to get his fifth wheel that far back.
 
No, it's going out....they just had a massive reduction sale last week.....and there is another red drill behind the Deere drill. What would that load weigh? Both loader tractors appeared to have loaded rear wheels. 15 tons?

They sold several of them at the sale.....yep, they were a darn good tractor, still hold their value pretty good.

No that load is absolutely YTDOT illegal. There are only two hard and fast YTDOT rules: first, if somebody drove by a scale and got away with it don't worry they won't bother you. Second if it is on wheels it has to be chained down not strapped, and I can see straps all over that load.
 
He isnt overloaded,we used to piggy back n series fords n other utility tractors. Id be concerned the drills be smashed up by arrival time and keeping tiedowns tight es they crush from the very smooth roads
 
I hope he's not going through MO unless he goes around all the scales. Mo will stop him for hanging over the 53 ft length even if it is in front of the trailer like the Massey is. I got stopped for Length with 40 foot beams on my 48 ft step deck like that one . His is a 53 ft. Look at how much over hang is behind the rear wheels on the trailer. A 48 the wheels are at the rear end of the trailer. Otherwise he looks god to go. I agree with RWB on the drills not looking so good when they get there.
 
Used to build loads like that to send to the Auctions at Winchester and Earlton, Ont. We would have filled the manure spreader with some small things as well as tucking more things under the tractors. Hardly any straps. Just chains. Lots and lots of chains.
 
I see talk about straps, but what I'm seeing when I enlarge the picture looks like chains in an x in the forward and rear tractors, and at least chains through the rear rim on the middle tractor.

Beyond that, I'm not sure there are enough straps on the rest of the load, but anyone with the ability to stack a load like this has obviously done it before. As a result, I imagine they know what's necessary, and legal.
 
This is the reason the ytdot was brought into effect so we could listen to all the experts give there uniformed opinion
 
(quoted from post at 07:55:42 10/28/19) You do know straps are legal right

Straps are legal for anything except huge boulders according to FMCSA but totally illegal according to YTDOT.
 
Is that a training wheel at the extreme rear of the trailer? Probably on whatever is behind it. I saw a load several years ago and the last tractor was propped up on 4 x 10 or so planks sticking about 3 feet off the rear. I was glad I was going some other way than he was.
