If your trailer has a rub rail or a way to secure 2" straps on each side.
Load 'em crossways and use 2 straps over the axles from the front to the back.
Pad the straps where the touch tractor with small pieces of carpet scraps.
Cut some 4/4's at a 45* angle for chock blocks and screw 'em to the floor in front of the front tires and behind the rear tires. And of course, lock the brakes and drop any implements. Be sure to secure your ramps as well.
Clearance can be an issue using ratchet straps, you will discover this and may have to double wrap the clip end of the ratchet strap through the rub rail in order to have room to operate it when tightening.
6 Cubs on a trailer should work just fine.
I use nothing smaller that 2" transport straps. NOT the colorful 1" finger pinching kind you find at the dollar store, they are worthless.
Around here, you are prone to being stopped by the DOT and checked for proper load securement while pulling a tandem axle trailer behind anything larger than a 150. It seems like U see 'em all the time on the shoulder at 4 way stops being checked whenever I go to Cedar Rapids.
