Actually straps will meet the DOT rules if the tractor is small enough. The DOT rule is that you take the weight of the load, divide in half and must have enough tie down strength to meet that weight. Also on 01/04/04 the new tie down requirements come into effect. These state that there must be at least 4 seperate tie downs, ( chain,cable, whatever) hitched to the points closest to the 4 corners of the equipment that are suitable for attachment. If there's a boom or bucket type attachment to the equipment it has to be secured too. Of course the DOT rules only apply to vehicles over 10,000 lbs engaged in commerce. Talk to your local DOT guys if you want more specific info.
