I have also heard, and read here, about the new laws. So far I have not been able to verify any of those stories. I have noticed big rigs belonging to machinery dealers on the road with heavy machinery on the trailer and they were using what appeared to be ordinary chains with the over-center type of binders. Personnaly, I do not like the ratchet type binders, I can never get the chain as tight with those as I can with the over center type. The big thing is too make sure those chains are tight and the load is secured so that you will not draw attention to yourself. The last trip I made I noticed what appeared to be a D.O.T. officer following me, eventually he pulled out and passed, and I know he was looking me over in hopes of finding something wrong. He just kept going, and I never saw him again. The tractor I was hauling at the time was a Case-IH MX 110. I had one chain through the drawbar at the rear with one binder, and one more chain around the front axle, again with just one binder. Only one of the chains was a grade 70. Maybe I was lucky?
