    "sarcasticly" 2 inch , 1/2 should be plenty for heavy machinery

    That is great, except CAT can't seem to make an anchor point that will work with those. We have slip hooks on one end of the chain and grab hooks on the other end. Most of the time you can not get the slip hook into the anchor points on a cat machine. John Deere does not seem to have that problem. 1/2" slip hooks fit them just fine.

    Do you have machine hooks on your binders T6? Not sure if I read that right.

    Yes. Bought them separately. They come with the pin and cotter pin. I added the on to one side. So on that 1 side of the binder, there's a grab hook and the big machine hook.
