When transporting a BCS on a trailer, how does everyone tie down the engine side of the unit. I used to tie to the engines protective bar. But that bar is attached to the engine, which is then attached to the tractor. And Im not sure that it is strong enough.

Any better ideas?

I use the same front bar and also the pin hitch on the rear. I have found there are plenty of sharp edges to cut the strap. Also possible to feed a strap through the wheels.

I do it like this in the picture with 3 truck straps (if that makes any sense), one on the front bar and one for each wheel. So that the implement rests on the trailer floor. This way there is very little stress on the transmission and axle bearings.
