That has to be a hoax, it looks like a rental tractor looking at the decal on the hoe.
It would take a lot of carefull work to get the chain that snug without breaking the tie wraps.

I was convinced until it got to the part with the zip tie.

I admit my vision isn't very good, but i could only see the zip ties on that tag ends of the chains, as in just holding the slack ends, but i could have missed something. Now the rest of the setup wouldn't be the way i'd tie down that tractor.

Agreed, the zip ties have no pressure on them but the chains are hooked wrong.

Hopping this is just a joke! If not I hope no one got hurt when it came off!

We use zip ties sometimes to secure extra chain or strap, but I have little tolerance for folks that are that careless about securing a load. Hope it was in jest.

I think the rules are enforced differently in different areas, but it is my understanding that a tractor would need a minimum of 4 independent tie-downs, 2 pulling forward, two pulling back.

depends on the weight. 10000+ needs 4 independent tie downs, under 10000 only two are needed to be legal. i will see if i can find the section in the fmsca book

NICE trailer. Too bad that he's going to lose that JD.

Only if he tries to move the trailer. To me it seems there is zero backwards hold and almost no foward shift hold. That's at base. Each implement is not tied separately.

Total screw up that puts everyone in danger.
