I have been tying down my M 6800 Kubota with ratchet straps with chains on the ends. I know there is debate about chains vs. straps. I am getting tired of the ratchet mechanisms and am thinking about switching to chains. My question is what size chain and what style load binder? My tractor is around 7,000 ish lbs. I assume 5/16" grade 70 chain or should I go 3/8"?Which binder, the ratchet style or the lever style? Which is better in your opinion? I am not sure what S.C. law requires, but they don't seem to be checking loads much anyway. I just want to be safe, and have a system that is fairly quick and easy.
