On my pride and joy she got tied down with , oh god forbid CHAINS AND BINDERS . I would rather SCRATCH some paint then have it come off the trailer should i be involved in a wreck and have said tractor come off the trailer and slam into a car - van bus with kids in it . And it is like this if you want to haul IRON it takes IRON to hold it . If you haul plastic then use plastic . And here one little thing to think about I do not care how well you tie something down on a trailer if it want to come off it is going to come off. I had a 68000 lbs tire press that did not care that there were 12 3/8ths grade 70 chains and binder holding it down but due to the one engineer at the plant insisted that they OIL the base and set it down on plastic and NOT A piece of plywood or a rubber mat she slid and almost came off the trailer after breaking five chain while going around a curve to the right in a school zone with the lights on and i was at the 20 MPH when this happened . Then had a brand new 48000 lb Grade All break the two 7/16th HOLD BACK Chains in a panic stop and almost come off the trailer . Then on the other hand while backing into and oil well sight with a J D 750 dozer on a low boy the 4 foot culvert collapsed and here that dozer was being held on by just two 3/8th chains and never moved with the outfit setting at a 45 degree angle because it did not want to move . So if you value your TOY and you value life then use Chains and good ones at that , IF two are good then use four and for good masseur add one more for hold back .
