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.

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
