Straps are a poor way to hold something on a trailer and I try to use less of them now and more chains.
Thin metal can and will bend.
A better place to connect straps/chains to trailer and tractor's axle(s).
Having front and rear wheels strapped together is a poor way to tie your Cubs down.......Every tractor needs to tied down separately.

I see more big trucks and trailers using straps over chains. Much safer and easier to keep tractors tied down than chains.
