4 chains, 4 binders, 4 corners!!! That is the Federal law that applies to every state. Whether or not every state enforces it is another story. Also any moving equipment attached to the tractor (loader, mower, scraper box ,etc.) need to have 1 chain and binder each securing them to the trailer. All chains must be transport Grade 70 for lashing mobile equipment. Hooks and binders must also be rated accordingly. The working load limit of the chains, binders & hooks must each be equal to 1/4 of the weight of the load being secured. Also, if the equipment length exceeds 20 ft, you need an additional chain in the middle. One chain every 10 feet. 4 each 3/8" grade 70 chains & binders will be rated high enough to secure any farm tractor out there. For large construction equipment, we use 1/2" grade 80 chain.
