You will need a clearance distance behind the trailer of
45 feet (14m), plus the length of the tractor, plus turning
space for the tractor. The illustration at right presumes a
tractor 22.5ft (6.9m) long, 10ft(3m) wide, with a turning
radius of 15ft (4.5m).
Use a tractor rated for the load (see page 23).

ter and rear) spindles that require seating.

tube. Make sure the bolt hole in the spindle is aligned
with the tube holes.
