Having your tractor fly off the trailer, and land on the hood of someones Lexus isn't good for your paintjob either. Chain it down good. I've seen several tractors with hooks attached to the frames/transmissions for hooking your chains to. On the rear, put a clevis on the drawbar, and run your chain through that. Also, use "grade 70" chains. They are a bit higher than grade 43 (what most hardware stores sell) but they have a much higher tensile rating. The D.O.T. demands that they be used with chain binders. The grade 70 chains are a gold color, for easy identification. Nothing will ruin a week-end faster than getting busted by the local DOT enforcement people. John
