To comply with D.O.T. regs, you need grade 70 chains. (No nylon tie-down straps or "cheap" chain) I would recomend rachet type binders. If you have an impliment attached to the tractor, it needs an additional chain. (2 on the tractor, one pulling forward to the corners of the trailer, and one to the rear corners) I tighten mine untill they start to flatten the tires slightly.
Make sure your trailer has brakes. And make certain your lighting on the trailer complies with your states laws. Go at a safe, reasonable speed. Don't crowd the vehicle in front of you. The additional weight of a trailer and tractor will shove you right into someone.
Above all, BE CAREFULL! John
