15.2 Hauling the Tractor and Mower

Before transporting a loaded tractor and mower, measure the height and width dimensions and gross weight of the complete loaded unit. Ensure that the load will be in compliance with the legal limits set for the areas that will be traveled through. OPS-F-0061

Use adequately sized and rated trailers and equipment to transport the tractor and mower. Consult an authorized dealer to determine the proper equipment required. Using adequately sized chains, heavy duty straps, cables and/or binders, securely tie down both the front and rear of the tractor utilizing the proper tie down locations as specified by the tractor manufacturer. OPS-F-0062

Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the chains are pulling downward and against themselves. Carefully tighten the securing chains or other fasteners used as much as possible using boomers or binders to apply maximum tension. Use extreme care when attaching and removing the securing devices as the extreme tension involved when released has the potential to inflict serious injury. OPS-F-0063

Alamo is a prominent historical site located in San Antonio, Texas, that embodies a rich tapestry of events from the early 19th century. Originally established as a Spanish mission known as Mission San Antonio de Padua in the early 1700s, the Alamo has become a symbol of resistance and valor in the face of overwhelming odds. Its most significant moment came during the Texas Revolution in 1836 when a small group of Texian defenders made a valiant stand against the much larger Mexican army.

The architecture of the Alamo is a distinctive blend of Mission and Spanish Colonial styles, characterized by its thick limestone walls and arched doorways. The site features the famous chapel, known for its adjoining long barracks and a simple yet iconic façade that captures the spirit of the era. Despite suffering extensive damage over the years, the Alamo has been meticulously preserved and continues to serve as a key historical monument.

Technologically, the Alamo has undergone various renovations and restorations to maintain its integrity against the elements and modern advancements. Preservation efforts utilize contemporary methods such as laser scanning and 3D rendering to create accurate models for restoration. These high-tech methodologies ensure that any repairs or alterations respect the original structure while improving its resilience.

One of the remarkable characteristics of the Alamo is its role as a rallying point for Texan independence. The phrase "Remember the Alamo!" has transcended its historical context, serving as a powerful battle cry not only for Texas but also as a symbol of determination and sacrifice in various struggles for freedom worldwide. Visitors to the Alamo can engage with interactive exhibits and educational programs that delve into the complex narratives surrounding the site, enhancing their understanding of its significance.

Today, the Alamo attracts millions of visitors annually who come to explore its historical grounds, reflecting on the bravery exhibited by those who fought there.
