I don't see any reason to put it on a trailer just for ad photos.

Hey Bruce,

It took me a minute to even see the front tiedown.

All I can say is, I wouldn't want to be driving behind or next to it, and I've tied down loads INside my pickup truck bed better than that.

ok Now I understand, I did not see the front one, but did see the back one

I assumed the owner took an opportunity to take pics as he was loading or unloading

Front restraint looks pretty wimpy, possibly he wanted to collect insurance on it?
:confused3:

It looks like a tow strap for the rear tie down. I bet he used the winch in the front to tighten it.

Is that a dealer selling it?

Safety....3rd?

Cars are regularly hauled sort of like that on flat deck tow trucks here. T hooks in the slots on the body, then pulled tight with the winch on the front, but there are one hook on each side and they use chains not straps.

Nothing in that pic above is even close to being hooked up right.

I didn't even see the trailer at first, let alone the front cable.

Photos, in case the ad goes away. Rear strap on trailer mover, front cable on mower crossbar. The only thing holding the tractor is the boat winch anti-reverse latch.

Looks kinda like it was pulled onto the flatbed trailer with a "come along" That lawn mower doesn't look very massive. I bet the cable and strap would hold as good as or better then most of the tractor's i've seen being moved.

It looks like it is at a JD dealer. I guess they don't care about how they haul a BX.
