Strapping down an Argo to a trailer

Thanks for the update Deed!

The new frontier has tie down hoops on the front axels, 2 straps in the front and 2 to the tow hitch and it never moves.

My machine is up for some minor work right now and they are putting the new tie down brackets on the front end.. They used to use them on the back, but found that modifying the receiver bracket was a better way to go. The new brackets look like it has two loops welded on each side of it (horizontally) so that you can tie down to there..

I use 2 tip ties and 1 bungee cord to load up my big trailer with my max IV, Attex, and camper. Stuff only moved around when I start, stop, and turn. Other than that it's solid.

Hey rodp, you are correct and I think the Polyester is effected less by the uv's from the sun.

A lot less, also doesn't suffer from pressure damage as much as nylon, it also has a much higher tenacity. Nylon is usually only used where chemicals in the environment dictate it's use.

Folks need to keep in mind that objects tend to drift to the back of a trailer except for the sudden stops. We might be better off with two nylon chokers and shackles on the front around the axles and two ratchet straps on the back axles.

Sorry to be so pedantic, but you want Polyester chokes, not Nylon (we do lifting gear and load restraint straps)

Here in Ohio, they don't care how things are strapped down. As long as it don't fall off. Then you get a ticket. I know it was said you shouldn't. But I use the winch for front tie down and a strap over a hook I have mounts in the rear hitch. That's it. But I don't haul it far.
