I, too, do not understand about load binders putting you over width. When using stake pockets, I've always dropped a chain end down the pocket and hooked upward, then put the load binder inline.
Also, I have NEVER(!!) had a load binder come loose on me, and for one very simple reason - because I was taught from an early age about always wrapping excess chain around the handle. If I don't have enough excess chain, then use rope, baling twine or even several wraps of duct tape.
I had a load "settle" on me one time. Chains slackened, but kept an eye on the load as I was expecting as much. The load binders were still just as perfectly locked as when I left, as it was physically impossible for the handle to pop open. And yes, I always use an extension bar - what I grew up learning as a cheater bar - also good for breaking rusted-on bolts free. ...Have broken a few sockets and ratchets in my time though! :lol:
Honestly, I cannot understand why normal load binders would be outlawed in any state. It all boils down to doing things the right way and not being careless. I don't even own a ratcheting binder and probably never will as I've got 20 miles of gravel road and very long winters - both of which can gum up a ratcheting binder. Sand and rocks are hard on the gearing!!

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
