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.

Exactly what I was thinking. The tunnel cover is cheapo tin (on those models.) Not enough tie downs for me.

What CADplans has done is worse. No chains/straps-- I don't follow guys like you and get by them in a hurry.
