At green-touch.com they have the fast-strap" system that looks interesting. Anyone have it? I’d like to know if it is good or junk, because it looks interesting. It looks like you roll the front tires over the chock that is mounted to the floor of the trailer and then the strap grabs onto the tire.

I’m currently using a ratchet strap which goes over one of the arms in the front and then loops around the other before fastening to the other side of thetrailerr. Almost anything would bebe better.

But make them super tight, so if your trailer bounces, your machine does not. And check them periodically as you are driving, so they dont loosen up. Secure the tie down to a fixed part of your trailer though.

I’m LawnRanger from The Home Depot.

The ratcheting tie-down straps are the best choice to secure your load.Touch the front tires to the front rail of your trailer. If the tires won’t touch the rail, angle the mower so that one tire touches the front rail with the nose of the tractor facing into the corner of the trailer. The other front tire will then touch the side wall or rail.

Pass the tie strap through the body of the mower below the steering column and hook both ends of the tie-strap to the front of the trailer. Ratchet the strap to pull the tractor tight into position. The hooks should be at or below the floor level of the trailer.

The tractor is now secure.

Flatten the tires and it wont roll off. Bring a bike pump to inflat them.
