I haul farm stuff using four straps with one on each corner and extras on implements. Have done it for years and it's no big deal for a few miles on the back roads with an 18' trailer. I have hooks (clevis) on tractors so it's easy to hook up. Now I need to make some longer trips and am switching to 5/16" chains. I have two ratchet and two lever binders.
How would you hook these chains to the tractor using one on each corner? It seems everything is in the way, especially with an implement on. With no implement, I could put a clevis in the drawbar and hook to that. The front has weights in the way and the axle has a tie rod in the way on each side so the front is difficult as well.
How would you tie this down? I'll add, without scratching everything up? I would like to use one chain on each corner if possible. Kubota if it matters.
