This man knows of what he speaks! the "tow loops" are NOT for cross country rough road towing. We loaded a new SPF chassis today to deliver to the customer. How tied down? On the control arms....because the trailer we are using today does not have "E" track for wheel straps or "I" track for same.
Thank you Tom...and I need to contact you for a West coast to Olthoff in NC move....
