I have to agree, Bob, that's not tied down very well at all. It will probably hold front-to-back, but the tractor will go skidding off the side in an instant.
The stake pockets along the sides are where you're supposed to anchor to.
Maybe I'm wrong too, but this is what I'd do:
1. Right front wheel to nearest stake pocket on LEFT rub rail at 45 degree angle to the front.
2. Left front wheel to nearest stake pocket on RIGHT rub rail at 45 degree angle to the front.
3. Right rear wheel to nearest stake pocket on LEFT rub rail at 45 degree angle to the rear.
4. Left rear wheel to nearest stake pocket on RIGHT rub rail at 45 degree angle to the rear.
That's how I see heavy equipment chained down, with the chains crossed over and pulling from the opposite side.
