I beleive that the DOT rules on load securement have been harmonized between canada and the usa. The rules in canada are really intended for commercial truckers, but they apply to everyone who hauls a load. The rules are quite specific about having the safe working load rating of your attatching points and hardware adding up to more than 50% of the weight of your load. If your hardware (chains binders or straps)are not marked for SWL or grade for chain the authorities will assume they are useless. With an H it would be legal to use two 3/8" transport 7 rated chains. I would use four, two on the front frame and two on the rear axle with each one angled to the corners of the trailer. Running the chains through the wheels would not hold the tractor from moving, if it can move it is not secure. If it looks like the tractor will stay on with the trailer in the ditch, your good to go LOL
