This is the method I use to secure the load, one chain wrapped around each axle and attached to the stake pockets on the trailer. A cum-a-long runs between the pts to tighten the chain. The tires are inflated and the skidsteer with a six ton winch is used to pull the truck onto the trailer. The winch also stays secure to the frame. The tires are then flattened before the chains are secured. This can be done with a value stem remover in urban areas, but out here we prefer a gun. Sun damaged tires can be taken out with a .22, most car and truck tires with a 40 caliper, and a 30-06 has been known to recherché off some liquid filled tractor tires.
