Now just a friendly word of advice here with the NEW Laws reguarding tieing down a load and i don't care if it is a farmall cub ya have to have a 4 point hitch on her and even though the G70 5/16th chain sayes that it is good for 10000 lbs the DOT will only give ya about 4500 lbs on it and if they realy want to push it ya also need 60% hold back . The days of throwen two or three chains on a tractor are dead and gone . So depending on the weight ya start off with four and start adden chains . I have a new 250000 dollar gradeall on and i ha ten chains on her as it weighed in at 46000 and change plus 2 1/2 inch chains holden the load back and had to come down on the binder real hard to keep from hitting a dumb freight hauler that came around a 90 degree turn and came into my lane and the two chains on the hold back snapped like baler twine and two of the other chains broke also the gradall darn near came off the side of the trailer it was hangen on by less the 1/4 th the width of the ft. tire Now that vary easily got terminal real fast if i would have been going any faster as i saw him before he saw me . I also was haulen new Cat Skidsteers and ya had to have 6 chains and binder on each one before you could go out the gate.
