There should be some easy too see chain holds, I dont know a mill that aint got em. Make sure the cutter teeth are as close to the deck of the trailer as possible, raise up the front and rear moldboards and visually check till your good with it and chain the sucker down.
Some people like using the tracks as chain holds too, being its a four track thats a good go if you cant find D rings or holes for chain hooks. Good Luck and send pics, I havent heard of anyone buying those.

Thanks, it was all as you said. Finally hauled one of these and it was a piece of cake to tie down. Didnt like that it shuts down a few times when loading or unloading but just pushed the override and was fine.

Those safetys are a ride out on those things, Mr Ando wouldnt buy one specifically because of that. Tex is right about the incline but i wonder if an engine sensor like that would let the engine run at all.
volvo mt-2000 obstacle feature
Its not shutting down the engine, it stops the machine. Heard that the obstacle feature might come on when loading onto lowboy because of the incline. It does ! It stops the machine before it runs over anything. It really stops the machine quick. No problem, just push the override and it gives another 30 seconds to get onto trailer. If someone is slow just push the override again. Scared me the first time though.

Good to see you Griz, I was talking to charlie the other day, hes got that 8 ft 60C in Queens and says they love it.
Whose got one of those 600's? id love to give one a go for a minute or two. Funny to see some of the old school CMI people completely on the Roadtec wagon lately. If you had told me that would happen back in the 90's I can name a few people that would say NO way but now own more than 5 roadtecs.
