I wanted to post a note here. I put up a post asking for info on trailering a Farmall B. Apparently I was so excited about my purchase that I posted the question in implement alley.
Been doing that a lot lately....hmmmmm.
Anyone who would care to jump in on the subject, I could sure use advice. I have never hauled my own tractors before but could sure tell you tales about dragging home implements. The post is on implement alley.

Hi Dave. Where do you live and how far will you be hauling this thing? I ask this to know if you will be going up and down hills. I hauled a C home from Manistee with a F150 6 cyl and it was a load! I live in Ravenna MI by the way. That is just west of Grand Rapids. I have found my chain binders at flea market area of tractor shows. My CNH dealer (sPARTA FARM AND LAWN) has what looks like good chain and binders, so you mite check there. That B is wider than most people think and you may have trouble getting it on just any trailor. Also, I have been told that U-Haul, for example, won't rent to you if you tell them your hauling a tractor. Have never tried to rent from them for this purpose, but that is what I'm told. Good Luck. Dave.

I use high strength 3/8" or 1/2" chain. I put a clevis on the rear drawbar and a shackle thru the front cultivator steering mount ( at top of front bolster). I run my chains thru these and in a V shape to the front of the trailor for the front chain and to the rear of the trailor for the rear chain. Then I bind them down as tight as I can and tie the binders down with wire or plastic tie wraps so they don't jump loose. I put the binders on the left side of the load so I can see them clearly in my mirror and I keep and eye on them. I also stop after the first few miles and recheck my load as the chains can loosen up one your in motion. One last thing, If you thighten your chains the way you should (real tight) be careful when taking the binders off as the handle can jump up and hit you. Dave BN again.

I'm gonna be taken her down I-75 later this week.
If anyone catches site of us give a toot! Not a lot of hills as I am starting south of West Branch where the grades get about as serious as it happens around here. I think I got it down now. I measured the trailer and have a couple inches to spare on the fenders. Guy who sold it to me hauls to shows and I'll listen to him when it comes to tying down. Gonna rent the binders with the trailer this time and then watch for used at auctions. Sure appreciate all the help here and over there at implement alley....where I had my "senior moment". Pictures when I get her home will follow!

I recently trailered a farmall B about 265 miles, also towing with a F 150. With a B weight won't be an issue but width might be. You may want to check width of tractor with width of trailer before you head out. Fenders on your trailer may change the way you have to do things. You will need a third ramp or a plan (slope, etc). Tie it down in a crisscross formation and it won't go anywhere. I use 2 inch ratchet type straps and have never had a tractor or a water tank move.
