Overview
Part one of a four-part series on trailering tractors legally and safely. This installment focuses entirely on the math behind working load limits, chains, boomers/binders, and trailer attachment points, walking through how to pick the right grade-70 chain, read WLL ratings on each component, and calculate whether four chains are sufficient for a given load weight. Best for owners who need to haul their tractor on public roads and want regulation-grounded guidance.
