No criticism taken, each person has their own philosophy (just like some folks would rather pull on and some back on), and what their local legal issues are. These short hops are roads I know, either 4 lanes that I know the grades or 2 lanes (all paved) that my greatest hazard is dropping the tandems off the shoulder. If I do that I darn sure want the tractor off in the ditch instead of taking me with it. If I'm going on a long haul I dont know the grades. Not worried about forward slip, gooseneck will stop it (even though they have never moved, and I may move 2x per day in hay season) plus way more steel in the gooseneck than in any 10 chains and I put the loader or the weight rack against the neck, local DOT doesn't require it so there is no legal issue, side slip is unlikely (physics of it say it will go forward or backwards more readily than sideways), only way it is going backwards is on rapid acceleration (and I dont see that happening with 15K behind a 3/4 ton) or on a really steep grade. If I dont know the roads, I dont know the grades so I'll chain it.
