Here's a pic I took after getting home with my Gehl skidloader. It shows how I typically secure my load binders to prevent them accidentally coming loose.
Some of my binders have a hole in the handle. For those, I put twine or wire through the hole and around chain and binder body. For the binders without a hole, I wrap twine or wire around the binder handle and body, and the chain. When I have excess chain, it also gets wrapped around the handle.
I did also use straps on this load, but only for secondary uses. I will only rely on chain in the event of an accident. In the instance of our accident, it wasn't the fault of my driving, but of the person who nearly clipped our bumper. With that I must add that I, too, was at fault. We'd driven over 1,000 miles and I was very tired. Was actually looking for a place to pull off and rest when that happened.
Some will make it through life without ever experiencing an accident of this type. To believe it cannot happen to you is asinine! It's not just you on the roadways, and the others on the road aren't looking out for YOUR best interest. BE PREPARED!

Sure, we have a fond attachment to one brand and model or another, sometimes it was remembering that first time we got to climb up in the drivers seat and command that roaring beast, or maybe because when you see that special model, you can't help but see Dad on it, he's gone, but everytime you see a tractor like his, it's a like part of him i
