well myself i go behind the ft. post over the ft. tires and two chains over the axles in a half hitch with a binder on each side and one chain with clevis and pin in the drawbar for hold back.I would rather scratch up some PAINT from chains then have it come off and kill somebody . In all the years that i have hauled equipment and machinery i had two try and come off the trailer . One was a 68000 lb tire press that the MFg made me put down visqueen and OILED the base ( to prevent rust in shipment and a 52000 Lb Grade all when i had to make a panic stop . The tire press was tied down with 10 3/8ths G70 chains and slid on the oiled base the grade all snapped two 3/8ths G70 chains holding it back. The other six kept it from coming all the way off as it still had half a tire holing it on the trailer. NOW with the new rules the tire press requires 15 chains and the grade all need 12 chains PLUS 60 percent HOLD back. Sometime ya just don't have enough places to put chains.And one other pooint here if something wants OFF the trailer ya aint ah going to hold it there.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
