I read that on the spec sheet when I bought the eyebolts.
I chose to do some research and this is what I did. I bought a USA made 6000 lb rated eyebolt and screwed it into the casting of a scrap super m then had the crane lift it off the ground. He was not gentle with it. It was on the front of the tractor so the lift was from the side. It didn't break.
I chose to mount 2-3/4" 6k rated and 2-5/8" 4.5K rated eyebolts in the cultivator mounting holes of my SH. 2 on each side. I tie down with 4 separate chains.
I am real comfortable with the 21k capacity of the 4 eyebolts with slight side pull holding down my 4600lb tractor.
I have logged a lot of miles and been DOT'ed one time with no issues.
My Buddy is the crane operator/rigger and says that they are underrated and that the "straight pull" warning is from the attorneys. Having said that I don't recommend putting 6K side load on a 6k rated eyebolt.
