I don't know where the 500 is more than a 5/16th's chain. 5/16th's G-70 chain is rated at 5400 and 3/8th's is 6600 Now of course all that doesn't mean a thing if you hook it to a 2500 attachment location on the trailer. Then it is all for nought. Straps work well for some things and not so well for others. I have found that straps work somewhat like a sling shot band . This lets things move around even though they are tied down. Things can wiggle and shift some. Maybe not enough to matter in some cases. Though if tied down with chain it does not have that sling shot effect, so it tends to stay in place. Tractors with their weight tend to shift, and bounce with straps, in my past experience. Versus chains holding steady. I have loaded enough tractors and equipment over the last 40 years with about 15-20 of it in over the road transportation which gets watched at scales as you go through, along with every cop that passes you on the road. I have also seen the results of things tied down with straps over sharp, and not so sharp edges as they cut the strap. And now it is just setting there till you stop and put a chain on it. Thus the reason it is said hold iron with iron.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
