Chains and binders...preferably ratchet type chain binders for the novice hauler not the dangerous flip over type. A tractor under 10,000 lbs will require one chain on the front; one on the rear; and one on any attachments like a loader or bush hog. While I will agree that any state can make a law restricting the use of straps on equipment; I know of none and federal law only restricts their use on hauling crushed cars. The problem most run into and get tickets or in accidents for using them are...... They want to use the cheap 2 inch ones that are not rated for the loads of equipment. The 4 inch straps that are needed require special ratchets that mount to the trailer and must be pulled at 90 degrees to the trailer side. They do not use corner protectors to prevent cutting at sharp turn corners. Straps cut easily if not used properly on metal objects. They do not have the proper type strap that has a chain and hook on the end of the strap for equipment attachment. So they tie the strap to the tractor axle or they wrap the strap part around the axle and hook the hook back to the strap. Both of which are not allowed.
