Here is an interesting article I ran across. Don't connect chains to front bucket with quick attachment, connect to tractor.
Use Grade 70 chains, which I have.
TSC straps aren't approved, however thay are if you are farm exempt. Found two sets of rules to be interesting.
Here is the article.
On thing I did not see here is we all should be using grade 70 transport rated chain or better, and that the hooks should be grade 70 or better too. I have a thread where I just upgraded my tie down equipment. I am getting ratchet binders that are lockable. I currently have the cam binders that I use a cheater bar on. I'm getting old so that heavy pull was getting to me.I also have long straps for securing hay loads.
CSP runs a lot of pop up inspection stations here and I got invited into one last week as I have truck plates on my F350 dually. They were nice, no fines, but I was using the wrong grade chain. Turns out my TSC straps are not DOT rated either, but as I am farm exempt I am ok to use. I did have 4 separate tie down points though. I have clevis hooks on the bucket, so was chained there at each corner, and two separate chains either side of my draw bar. The only thing they recommended is that I should chain the front of the tractor next time and not chain the bucket due to the quick attach connection as I had done. I learned a lot talking with them. Another trick I learned was to get some old fire hose and slide the chain through them to keep from scratching the paint just as AronS showed in his photos.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
