[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 1519941, member: 2383"] I haul a 15' BH 2615 on a regular basis, most of the time it's still hooked to a Ford 7610 and I just back them onto the trailer, run a chain over/around the rear axle supports on the bush hog and another across the tongue while still hooked to the tractor. I keep a cable come-a-long between the wings as it's easier than fooling with the factory pins that supposedly keep the wings upright. I prefer to move them in the transport height position, as mine is more stable/easier to secure while resting on the 4 rear wheels than if you lower it down on the deck. Be mindful of your batwing wheels, as they usually stick out wider than your trailer but are generally 10' or so in the air and out of sight/mind. I have hauled them before with no tractor attached, and use a huge block of wood (approximately 12"w by 8"t with some additional cribbing under the tongue so the pressure is off of the jack and chain accordingly. It's not rocket science. [/QUOTE]
