Should Erickson E-Track be Installed Directly Under Tires of Vehicle
Question:
Should I install the track under the tires of my JD Gator so the tires ride on the track. Or is it better to have the track on either side of my tires?

Expert Reply:
The Erickson E-Tracks like # E19148 can really be installed any way you like on your trailer, but most customers tend to install them so they sit directly under the tires of the vehicle they are securing. This will allow you to easily use Tie-Down Straps like the Erickson # EM58523, which feature one hook in the front of the tire and one hook behind it. This will provide a really stable connection when transporting your JD Gator.
I have attached an image that shows this type of setup that you can take a look at, along with a couple short video demonstrations on these products for you to check out.
