65k, 4 chains, good to go

I used my outrigger boards and couldn’t get all of my D rings flipped up. So I hooked to the upper flange a few places. What is the rule about doing this?

 

I would just make sure it's hooked right against an outrigger hinge so it doesn't slide on the rail. But I'm more interested in wtf that rear chain is doing.

 

I don't think I would've put a chain there in back. It can probably take the weight but looks iffy.

I also use the flange but like has been said. Put the hook next to something to keep it from sliding.

 

I wouldn’t have put the back chain there either. If for no other reason than it will chip the paint up on what looks like a new machine.

 

In Wisconsin, it's legal to hook the rail with a binder...
The back chain is a no go.
Per our Volvo dealer ,only use the tie down lug. You can run 2 chains thru it on each side.

 

I‘m going to take the liberty of a side step here. I’ve got to agree with @johndeere4020 on making the man prove it by the book or shut up and move on. If we stood our ground as we should, we might not get hassled just to be hassled by some idiot cop. Those who actually waste their time adding extra securement to keep the leos off their case, might just find life easier and more profitable.
This could also be applied to our everyday life. Imo, if they wear “blue” they think their sheet doesn’t stink.

 

The binder is fine. Cut your outrigger boards a couple of inches narrower and you won’t have that issue.

 

65k machine
He needs six 1/2 chains
Four to the rear and two to the front.

good luck on his trip hope he makes it safe

1/2 chain is rated at 11,300 x 6 chains is 67,800 more then enough
