Safety Chain

Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than

pounds minimum in accordance with ASAE S338.2
specifications. If two or more implements are pulled in
tandem, a larger chain may be required. Chain capacity
must be greater that the TOTAL weight of all towed
implements.
A second chain should be used between each
