Dennis K (WA) said: (quoted from post at 16:47:35 01/08/13) I spent some time on the Federal DOT site today and didn't find anything that specified chains. Only thing that was metioned was 'weight load limit' as far as what tie down system was used. A tractor under 10,000# which a H or M are were in the automotive category and nearly everyone in that game use straps. My straps are rated at 10,000#s well above a 4000# H. Looked at Washington and Oregons regs and both referred to the Federal. I definitely prefer legal but haven't found any reason to change yet. Dennis

The working load limit on a 2 inch 10,000# strap is 2000# but your still good, 4 straps add up to 8000# or at the 1.5 safety factor good for a 5,333# load. Straps are prohibited on equipment over 10,000#. Its all here
