Darryl,
We back our tractors and skidloader on to the trailer. They are less likely to flip over, but could still roll sideways if they come off of the ramps. We have also found it is easier to balance the trailer with some weight on the hitch, otherwise we end up with the whole tractor in front to the axles and a lot of weight on the hitch.
When using binders we always use a "cheater" or piece of pipe that fits over the handle. You will get the chain tighter and that means less movement and less problems. Stop and check the chains after a few miles, they may need retightening.
Good Luck,
Wheels
