Not going to tell you what to do , just telling you what works for me.
Four good chains and four good binders minimum to hold the tractor in place.
Dont care how long or good it is, a single chain front or back that fails either sends your load off the back of the trailer or forward into your truck.
I saw a guy scratching his head at an intersection one day with his bobcat half in/on the back of his truck and the other half on top of the trailer tounge, sure wished I had my camera.
Chain down all four corners, hook on boomers and suck it down, wire the handles in place, half mile or so down the road stop check and retighten as needed.
Stop a few more miles down the road and snug up as required again, if anything was loose keep stopping and tightening until when you stop everything is tight.
An extra few chains and boomers to tie down the loader if it has one.
Do some measuring of the tractor and trailer, on quite a few I have had to un-hook the trailer, remove the tounge jack, load the tractor on backwards from the front as the back wheels may not clear the wheel wells, re-hook and go.
Floor jack comes in handy.
