RE: [RC] Trailer chains - Carol

<How much do the safety chains help?   Do they break?  Do most states require
<them?  How many people use them?   How are they hooked up?


From person experience, I can tell you that my old 1978 Miley trailer chains were worthless. They broke one time in the pasture when I pulled away and the "ball receiver" of the trailer slipped off the trailer hitch ball. I was only going about 1 mile per hour with no horses in it yet. I hope my new Logan is better. Still, I was told by a U-Haul guy,  it's a good idea to cross the chains under the hitch so if it does disengage, it doesn't drag on the ground.
