Hello John, thanks for reaching out. The Rack'Em Heavy Duty Stake Pockets # PK-BSP do not have a specific weight capacity. This is mainly because the actual capacity will largely be dependent on how it is attached. The same can be said for all of our other trailer stake pocket anchor points as manufactures simply do not test for this as there are just too many variables.

As long as they are properly installed, the can definitely be used for a tractor tie down. The capacity of that setup would be determined more by what tie-down you are using. For example, the Stake Pocket Tie-Down Anchors # PK-SPTD are rated for a 4,000 lb working load limit which would be plenty for a compact tractor.
