I'm going to be hauling an unstyled JD A. I was just curious about chaining it down to the trailer. It has rear cast wheels, so I figured it weighs about 4,500 lbs. I was going to put a clevis on each side of the frame just behind the front wheels and put a chain on each side through a clevis. I was also going to put a clevis in the back drawbar and have a chain on each end through that. So, 2 chains up front and 2 chains in back.
I am renting the trailer, chains, and binders (unfortunately they only have the snap binders).
Does my setup sound safe for a long haul? Also, the rental company can't tell me the grade of the chain they have. Is there a quick way to tell the grade on a 43 or 30? Worse case, would 4 Grade 30 chains suffice? In a sudden braking situation?
Thanks for your respectful replies.
