Seems fine to me, don’t be so hard on yourself. Luckily, these idiots set the bar pretty low! LOL.

 

Under 10k only requires one chain and binder front and rear, if it was over 5k I'd use one chain, 2 binders on the rear, and one chain/ binder on the front.
Most likely forward motion is the one you need to stop, so if one piece fails you still have one securement point securing it from forward motion. And of course buckets and booms secured

 

Now having used both I truly think ratchet binders are the way to go. I felt like I couldn’t get the chains as tight even with a cheater bar and I don’t think they are any quicker.

 

Hit the ratchets with WD 40, or PB Blaster, or something like that good and often. They are worthless if you don't.

 

That trailer is awesome!! You know it, I know it, now everyone knows it.

 

I been using that fluid film on all my rotating metal the past few years per a suggestion from @BigCam9670 with very good results

 

I'll have to try that.

In the summer we don't have to treat them too often, but winter it's most every time we use them.

 

I'll second the fluidfilm.

Loaded this in Plattsburgh NY and dropped it off in Glens Falls

 

331G and 333G are real close to 12K. Almost every manufacturer's top models are over 10K now and some, like Case and NH are over 15K.
