When we had the Iowa dot at a tractor club meeting a couple years ago he told us that your lowest rated chain or binder must be at least half of your load wright, so it would actually be legal in Iowa to chain your tractor under 10,000# with one chain. But he said better safe than sorry, so more chains was better. Also he said once a tractor was over 10,000# you are required to chain at 4 corners.
