Plough transporter

[NasherXL]

Has anyone got/made themselves a small low loader for carrying their plough/powerharrow?
Came across a frame the other day with an axle which had been used as a 2 tattiebox trailer so I've put a proper floor down and sat the plough on. The plough sits on ok and with a few straps it seems like it is solid enough going down our lane through potholes at a low speed but it does wobble a bit and I'm a bit nervous as to what it could be like for faster road travel which is what I wanted it for as I don't like excessive travel with the plough on the back,don't want to break my lovely 1056 or damage the headstock on the plough which I know are known to be a bit soft.
If anyone could suggest any mods for better securing the plough to the floor etc etc I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

Best to set the plough on timber under landslides, also separate Ratchet straps, as how you have them will not tighten properly, and wear on the edges.

A cradle made out of a bit of channel for the plough wheel to sit in. Also a couple of bits of angle welded to the floor, where the lower frount furrow sits to stop it sliding.
Another option is to weld some jaws to the front of the trailer and put two top links upto the plough lower links and tighten down when its on the trailer.

4f Ransoms ploughs must’ve got a LOT heavier if you need to put them on a transporter nowadays [emoji848][emoji57]

Steel on steel would be like bambie on ice, I would get some timber under the plough and some kind o frame to hold the wheel

Think I’d just hitch on tractor and go canny

Exactly as @grainboy said - sit it on woods and keep your straps short.

...or slow down a bit. Just carry it on the linkage like you’re supposed to - if you simply avoid driving like teeniebopper, it won’t break.

As above, timber floor ...........
Lock the three point linkage so it cant fall over, possibly a stand (both sides) that you can drop/pull out of the way as you load.

Have a twin A frame mounted on the plough then weld A frame stand to trailer and use another A frame to lift the plough on the tractor.

What about a timber deck

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I know it seems a bit overkill but I've heard plenty stories of the 300 series headstock/turnover mechanism breaking so I want to give it a good chance of surviving as it's a cracking plough, makes a lovely job. It's really for jobs further from home and the odd match that might be a bit of a trek.
I like the idea of 2 top links from the headstock down to the frame and a wee cradle for the wheel. Going to look into getting some conveyor belting from work for the floor as well.

Your Ratchet straps aren't really holding the plough steady you would be better using a strap either side hooked onto the plough. The way the are the now the plough can slide underneath. Or have the strap going over the beam as you have it then bring it back underneath and round the strap then back to the trailer.

Ye as some above
When strapping think diagonal you would need four straps or better still chain go from one top corner ie skimmer to opposite side of trailer front and rear and same from landslide to other side then also from front forward and rear back
An over kill but better with six ties down than a plough on the road and yes i totally agree with your thinking using a trailor its ok putting sockets under the land wheel or even for all the points to locate under but you can never get backed up to trailor at the same angle every time
