I have hauled tractors all over Florida and into South Georgia using heavy duty ratchet straps and have never had a problem with the DOT. I always use 4 straps per tractor and my equipment trailer has added tie down points so that I don't run a strap over a sharp edge. Been stopped a few times over the years and never had a officer question how I had something tied down but I almost always use 4 straps per tractor. Got checked at a weigh station on 95 with my enclosed trailer and the officer complemented me on how I had the two tractors strap down inside. I told him they were mine and I didn't want them going anywhere. Watched a fellow bring in a tractor at one of our shows a few years ago. He had hauled it across 5 states with one chain across the middle of it. I couldn't believe he made without getting wrote up. I can't speak for the regulations just know I have never had a issue using good straps
