Hi Gang; Sure glad most of you guys dont work for the police on the highways ! LoL RECOVERY = truck used to collect broken down vehicles. The lights on the cab top are warnings. WINCH = look behind the headboard behind the cab, there is an electric winch and the hook was on the tractor front axle pulling it forwards. LOAD STRAPS = this 35 only weighs 1.5 tons so those ratchet straps were ok for that weight. I was short of one protector on the right rear wheel rim. (blast - those things do get lost). I always stop every hour to check the straps and strech my legs & have a smoke. I agree with you about chains for heavy loads, the truckers do use chains on the huge modern tractors. POLICE = having towed trailers with implements and compact tractors around the Country for years, I've noticed that if the load looks secure they dont bother. Always used more straps & rope than required - makes the load look "over secure". That little 35 came home at 55-60mph and never moved an inch on the truck. Cheers David
