Hi Pete, The new 2005 rule says 4 tie downs on each piece of equipment. Great idea. I use the cross, X, chain attach as that pulls the center of load to both sides thus no side to side movement and then to the front and to the back beyond equipment ends as in a upside down "V" as then no front to back movement. Also when you hook you chain onto the trailer frame, the chain hook must be inside the rub rail. Some trailers have a rub rail that sticks out about 1-1/2" from the edge of the trailer frame and the hook body must be inside that rub rail. This is to keep from shearing off the hook if you pancake the side of the trailer with another object. The hook also is fed down thru a stake pocket then returned up on the outside to hang on the top of the stake pocket lip. I like the ratchet style binders the best. The ratchet style flat belt frame hooks will not fit between the frame and rub rail without a BFH to tweek them. Those end hooks must also be inside the rub rail. I did pancake my "new" trailer into a concrete road divider on my last trip out that knocked off the flatbelt hooks on two 10k load binders as the hook tip was on the outside of the rub rail. That's why it's important to make sure the smooth rub rail is the last metal on the outside of the trailer frame. I got lucky as the light load they were holding didn't come off the trailer until I could get stopped, about a mile down the road. T_Bone

As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
