Y'all will see so many pictures you'll be rolling your eyes saying "Dangit we already know what a BX looks like!"

Cute little guy! Don't beat me up over the two straps. They loaded it and strapped it for me, and that's what they came up with. Lol. In their defense it's only 3 miles, but I'll be using 4 straps one on each corner. Yes, I know half of you say I need chains!

Shoelaces would probably do!

Very nice! You will be amazed at what you can get done with that little guy.

2" straps can hold that tractor to the trailer, but not in the configuration shown! There nothing preventing that machine from sliding backwards until the straps are loose and can then fall right off. Glad you made it home without incident. I really can't believe a tractor shop let a machine out on the road like this, they surely ought to know better.

Congrats!

I'm going to strap it with 4 2" straps, one on each corner.

What I did not tell y'all is he called me last night saying it was ready, but we left this morning at 10 am to go on vacation for a week. I kinda wanted to just stay home now.

One thing that caught my eye was that I would like it a little further back on the trailer to balance the weight out. Not sure if the tire are loaded, but I see wheel weights, loaded tires would throw some weight further back also. Enjoy your new toy. Jon
