Our tractor club had a DOT guy come in and go over rules and regulations on how to tie down & tow our tractors. It was a real eye opener because a lot of the things you can buy at your local farm store for towing purposes are not legal by DOT standards. What was interesting was we asked the guy about adding hook points to our tractors, like running a high strength chain from one side of the frame to the other and attaching with grade 8 bolts, and he told us that was not considered a tie down point by the state because it was added on to the original tractor and not original equipment. The interesting thing is our current club president got his DOT numbers shortly after that meeting and had to have a audit of his vehicles. While the guy was there he showed him some of his hook points he has added to his tractors (he restores them and doesn't want to scratch the paint) and that DOT official said they were okay and legal to use. Go figure.....
