    I made two big mistakes leaving the house.

    1) Didn't take the chains off Casper.
    2) Didn't put the hibachi on Casper.

    l'm not sure about 4x8 steel but with lumber, 5' max between straps. l would put one chain snug across the front of each bundle in case you have to slam on the brakes. Just imagine a bundle of 4x8 sheets cutting your tractor in two pieces, upper and lower.

    No straps.... Just chains, minimum of 4 total... But 7 would satisfy me better... Plus bulkheads.
