[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 132646, member: 13825"] neither of your options are any good IMO, your asking for possible issues, both legally maybe and safety wise here, many states(not sure where your from) but once you get to"X" weight, you need a CDL or like drivers lic to tow, , doesn't matter what the vehicle is rated for, or capable of! its what DOT rules apply! to you and the weight being towed! So, why not HIRE someone to safely move things for you? I know money doesn't grow on tree's!, but should something happen, things will cost way more than having hired someone! and all the more so after posting this on the world wide web as God forbid something happen, AFTER you make a post knowing your wrong, doing either option!?/ and them words get used against you! SO, if it was me, I'd be asking my friends first, (or maybe neighbors, many times a little cash or beer can get things like this done) But if NOT, I'd hire someone to move it, like maybe a roll back towing company close by, should be able to do this for a pretty low fee! , as an example, (I had a local roll back move a machine for me 2 yrs ago about 20 miles, let the guy PICK the time to come get it, so he timed it on a return trip past my way, so not a special trip and only cost me 50 bucks cash, money IMO well spent, !) as the old old saying goes, , " better safe than sorry!" and YES I know we all break rules some times, none of us are perfect! so, not bashing here, just giving advice on the better option IMO!
