(B)

●For safety purposes, any implements or trailers towed by the tractor drawbar should be equipped with a safety chain in case of accidental uncoupling of the implement from the tractor. The tensile strength of the chain should be greater than weight of the implement or trailer, fully loaded. A chain shackle of the same or greater strength of the safety chain can be added to the tractor drawbar bracket. This will allow the implement or trailer safety chain to be attached to the tractor. Purchase and install the chain shackle to the drawbar bracket for safety purposes.
