You need to tie down a tractor to keep it from moving in any direction even upward. Crossing the chains from side to side don't give the best support for upward motion. I usually pull the one chain forward and the other backward and keep them as short as possible. After you read my listing below you will understand. I met a car hauler who bought an old plow from me. When he arrived and we loaded the plow he got out his chains and all of them were only 6ft long with a hook at only one end. His binders had a hook on one end and 2ft of chain on the other end with a hook. I thought how stupid this is and asked him why. He said it's the best thing I ever done all chains have a binder on them. Since meeting him I've done it and love it. Don't have to drag a 16 or 20 foot chain thru the drawbar or loader. Just hook it into the tiedowns and tighten it up. The threaded chain binders are better than the over the center binders in my personal opinion. Sounds nuts I know but if you have a scrap chain cut it up and try it! Let me know what you think. Wrecker drivers use short chains also!!!!!
