For anything over 1500 #'s or so, I use two separate chains & binders from the drawbar to the opposite side of the trailer (diagonals) and two separate chains & binders from the front rails. Also will use the 10K nylon ratchets across the torque tube for the smaller AC's and Farmalls. I like the nylon straps but they don't hold up very well and will cut easily on long runs. I always use large ty-wraps on my chain binders or copper bailing wire. If I'm hauling other folks tractors my chain binders are pad-locked for overnight stays. Made runs anywhere from 500 to 2500 miles and never lost one yet. Biggest problem I've seen on the roads are stupid drivers that pull out in front of you like they do it every day. Or how about the people that pass you on the interstate (while you're on cruise) and as soon as they get back in your lane they either hit the brakes or slow down?? I keep a lot of distance between me and guy in front of me. After making many road trips hauling tractors with a 36' trailer, I have a much better appreciation for what the professional truckers go through and also a lot of respect for them.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
