Here are the most recent federal standards for strapping down. Equipment less than 10000 lbs follow the general rule. Notice the number of g's in each direction you must plan for. This is not a lot of force fellow. The 80 or 90g's to a dead stop at 30mph is a ridiculous calculation to consider. Here are the rules. If the tractor was over 10000 lbs the buckets and payloaders need to be down. Under 10k, it is treated like s car or a lawnmower. Enough said.

I am not trying to be contrary either.
But...

What you are saying does not match with my interpretation of the Federal Standards (see previous post). 1) You CAN use the sum of the individual tie downs to derive an aggregate WLL. In fact, you are required to do so.
2) There is nothing in the standard that says you cannot use straps for a small tractor as described by the OP. The standards for heavy equipment (>10,000 lbs) are a little different, but for small tractors there is no such prohibition against synthetic webbing.

Safe and legal does not necessarily mean everyone has to use chains on every load.
Anecdotes and conjecture are no substitute for first-hand knowledge of the local, state, and federal laws.

If he has a strap at each corner, the two that are on the end of the tractor that moves forward will do nothing. Only the two on the end of the tractor holding it from moving in the direction of the force will hold anything. Two will be useless.

Chains won't change that.

I have a B7500 (which bigger then the BX)with FEL and when I have the bush hog attached then all fits nicely on my Texas Braggs 16' trailer. The trailer is equipped with trailer brakes.

I'm not sure if an alien hacked his computer and started commenting for him...

Mine's a bit small but it works...I'm talking about my trailer!

Go slow and easy and short distances. You blow one tire and you're done!

Use a bigger, heavier and more solid trailer than you need, buy good tires, good straps or chains, get a real hitch and heavy shank ball. What is your life worth, or the lives of the innocent person you may run over?
