I'm with Gene here. Even IF or where straps are legal, anything with wheels gets chained. 3/8ths" Transport rated chains at a minimum, not some swing set stuff. If I'm moving anything on a trailer more than 1 mile and more than 10mph (behind a tractor), I want it as closed to welded to that trailer as I can get it. All my stuff is in work clothes, so a chain over an axle isn't an issue.
For the pretty stuff, most put a clevis in the drawbar for sure. I've seen folks make up a bracket for a clevis in the front, and in factory paint, they look good. I'm not so sure about open "tow hooks", as in a worst case scenario, a chain could come loose of one (or more), and often the safety closures aren't anything to write home about. A loop (clevis) would be far better to my thinking; something a chain can't come out of, regardless of the forces applied, unless something devastatingly catastrophic happens and a chain and/or loop breaks.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
