Looks to me that the mill is centered over the front axle.I am also unimpressed that the load is right over the axles, meaning that none of the machine weight is available as tongue weight to improve traction of the tow vehicle.
Hope he made it home alright.
Better than cutting off the top of a gear shaper to make it under bridgesThat poor machine had so many chains wrapped around it. . . . had to turn away.
I always put one G70 chain around the machine and attach to the back of the trailer. Not needed to be banjo tight. But, I want to take as few chances as possible that a XXXX pound piece of iron is going to hit me in the back of the head if things get squirrelly up front.
I like to use the 5/8-11 tapped hole that usually comes in the ram of that style of milling machine as a fixed tie down point.
Also I recommend the use of cordura sleeves or other sling-softeners to protect those web straps from fatal chafing. A sleeve is nice because it won't blow away

That looks like it would take an hour or more to construct, at least he strapped it down. I sold a large kiln to a guy about a month ago that weighed around 800 lbs, I loaded it into his camper van through the side doors and he just shut em and took off. I hope nobody pulled out in front of him. This looks like a mess but I bet he made it home ok.
