Chains, hooks, binders, straps 10,000lb+ load

[FatTire]

Anyone familiar with these binders from Northern Tool: Durabilt Ratchet Load and Lock Binder — 7,100-Lb. Capacity, Model# LDR-38-10 | Load Binders| Northern Tool + Equipment

I wouldn't often need to padlock them, but would like to be able to put a pin in them. Would be using them with 5/16 so the rating seems good.

Nice Trailer!

I don't like those style of straps but prefer the more rare ones with a length of chain and grab hook on the end. They loop nicely down and up through a pocket.

Funny how picky the authorities are about chain and straps but have no concern about what the chain is attached to.

Nice trailer AND nice truck.

Couldn't you take any binder and put a hole through it then put a pin in it

I'm about to purchase a tractor that's going to weigh between 10k-12k... My biggest fear is making sure I get this tied down properly. My farm is about 60 miles from my house... Plan on making this trip about 8-12 times a year hauling the tractor.
Anyone have some advice they'd like to share, examples of what not to do? Pics would be great.
It will have loader and cutter... I'm guessing I can get away with 4 chains and a couple-few straps?
I'm sure I'll overdo it the first few times, but would love to hear where I can buy the best chains and binders.
Does Harbor Freight offer ones that are reliable?
Home Depot or Lowe's?
Should I look at places that sell trailers? Tractor dealers sell them?
Appreciate any and all advice.
The tractor will be delivered soon and I'm hoping I can see how it was tied down upon delivery and take pictures and learn from that as well.
Thanks

Four chains

Two load binders

All suited to the load (X3)

Make sure your attach points are worthy of the task!
