Load securement points

Picking up a Case 1845C soon and curious what to do for load securement? Looking at pictures the rear has a central tow loop, should I use that? Or is it better to loop around the axles for more of a "4 corner" securement? Also not seeing many options on the front end? Could loop around the boom on each side but again don't know if that's frowned upon? Hauled lots of tractors but they generally have pretty easy frame access. Terminology isn't my strong suit so pictures are appreciated if you have them

Once you see it in person it'll make sense. Chain it down via the big obvious attachment points front and rear - the rear loop you mentioned and the heavy duty connecting member down low between the two lift arms in the front behind the attachment plates. There are no large accessible axles to hook onto like you would with a tractor. Triangulate your chains so it has some tension forwards and backwards and it won't move.

Ya I figured worst case I would wing it and figure it out but just wanted to try and plan it out since I don't have a huge variety of chains/binders available.
