Chains or Straps?

[firefighter9208]

This is what I use to tie down my tractor. Kubota M4800 with loaded tires, bushhog, and front end loader (aprox 9,000#). JEGS Heavy-Duty 10,000lb Tie-Down and Axle Strap Kit - JEGS

Four 10,000# (3300# working load) ratchet tie downs and 4 axle straps. One axle strap around each side of the front end loader frame or front axle with a ratchet strap on each side. And one axle strap around each rear axle with a rachet strap on each side. Breaking strength of 40,000# with a working load of 13,200 pounds.

We have hauled race cars all over the country with this set up and no problem.

BTW, these straps are designed to tie down cars, etc... They are not cargo straps.

I use 4 chains at least. I crank them down until the tires are almost flat.

LOL ... it's an old Ferguson TO35 that was used to cut citrus orchards with that sickle bar mower which is mounted on top. I hauled it up to my property to restore it.
