I believe the federal tie down regulation stipulates on wheeled equipment there must be one independent tie down in each corner. Each tie down must be tight and secure. I don't think they are saying you need a binder on each chain, but I do not know any way to accomplish this without at least TWO binders. What they are atempting to get away from is the use of one chain per end of a wheeled machine. Yes it does work, but if you cut one link, then the machine is loose on your trailer. At least when you use two independent chains, or set up your long single chain as two independent chains, one broken link leaves one chain still holding that end of the load.
Remember they are thinking about the machine staying with the trailer and not becoming a projectile in an accident. Most single chain hookups would be perfectly safe if there were no emergency stopping or manuevering, or accidents.
Go to any large farm equipment auction on sale day and you will see many loads that could be ticketed for unsecured load. Sure ould be nice if these folks got smart before DOT decides to target tractor haulers......
