For that size of tractor, yes.I mean ratchet straps that can hold a car are fine for a tractor too.
Or they just throw them across the top and go.Problem is these hicks wanna use the 4 for $9.99 Harbor Freight ones, and they're barely good enough for a lawn mower. They don't do anything to protect them from sharp edges either.
I have straps with 3300 lb working load each.For that size of tractor, yes.

I see that stupidity in that group all the time.
Two of those around the axle pulling aft, and two on the front axle pulling forward, yer good to go.I have straps with 3300 lb working load each.
My understanding is that four combined (eg one for each corner) provides over 12k of securement.
If someone can tell me I'm wrong before I get a gooseneck and haul that heavy I'd appreciate it.
Thats how I've done everything so far. Just haven't had anything heavier than the Navigator yet. It's only about 5500-5800lbs.Two of those around the axle pulling aft, and two on the front axle pulling forward, yer good to go.
Now that I'm really looking, those headlights might be an even bigger crime. They're a hot mess just like the straps.For that size of tractor, yes.

Originals are round 6v
For the stuff you're planning on doing I would suggest you get some J hooks. They make securing things with axles a lot easier. I know Northern tools carriers some. Other than that you might need to look online where tow trucks get stuff.Thats how I've done everything so far. Just haven't had anything heavier than the Navigator yet. It's only about 5500-5800lbs.
You mean the little ones that go into the oval slots in the frames, or the big ones that make you look like a pirate?For the stuff you're planning on doing I would suggest you get some J hooks.

Big ones that make you look like a pirate. Hook them over the axle or control arm. Plus you can act like a pirate. Eye patches are cool too.You mean the little ones that go into the oval slots in the frames, or the big ones that make you look like a pirate?
