Preparing to make the 4.5 hour trek to pick up a 3K. Was wondering what the preferred method of securing an 8k+ machine is. Was thinking chains and binders around the base front and back. With the knee dropped, a ratchet strap just behind the table secured to the sides. Another strap over the over arms on the back of the machine and secured to the rear of trailer to stabilize when braking. Is there anything I can place under the chain to keep it from scarring the machine? Will also cut some 4"×4" to put between the mill and the front of the trailer. Also, what would be the correct way to position the mill on the trailer? Was originally thinking over the axles, but I'm now thinking I should move it a little bit toward the front of the trailer (couple feet). Last thing, thinking about picking up a toe jack to get the mill off of pipe and onto some wood pads. Does Northern Tool sell a decent one? Need to find one locally as I don't think I have enough time to order on from eBay. Thanks for any help/advice provided!
