I use the 4" wide straps across the 3ph in the back and across the front grill plate with no cheater bar. If FEL on I strap across the arms behind the bucket.
The straps have ratchet handles that tighten them down. Lots of opinions on straps vs chains but i've used the straps for at least 10 years with no issues and now no concerns. I don't haul any thing heavier than a L size Kubota with implements (6000 lbs) but I doubt it would make a difference to me. Lots of big tractor trailers on the hwy using straps and not chains.
