My concern having them anyway but facing forward, would be the hoods flying open along the way. You'd have to strap them closed, but potentially the straps will raise hell with the paint.

I picked some of these up on clearance at TSC but have yet to use them. Maybe something like this would be easier to use with less straps running side to side.

E-track will work great! Make sure some bolts hit the cross members. for the ones that hit the wood use a good size fender washer on both top and bottom. For real strength I would use bolts on every cross member and then one in between each.

I use steel cables and secure the frames to the side rails of my trailer, along with straps. I have had straps that have frayed on parts of the cub before, so I like the added security of the steel cables. They also wind around easily and padlock securely.

Ya gotta pad the straps where they contact sharp edges!!

Geesh already!!

I have straps and ratchets that have seen 20+ years of over the road service before I retired that are STILL good to go.
Take care of your stuff and it will take care of you.

One can find the roads littered with the remains of straps, chains, binders, winches and ratchets lost by guys that claim to be truckers. My son works for the DOT and you should see the pile of equipment, parts pieces etc. etc. that they accumulate from trash pick-up along side the roads.

Be safe out there folks. I'd sure hate to see your or anyone's Cub sticking out of the grill or windshield of someone's car/pickup.

Dont think sideways would make them open

I ordered one section of E track and a couple D ring clips to experiment with. I just need to work out the hold down hardware between the Cub frame members and the E Track D Ring clip. A turnbuckle or something like that. I want something easy to attach and remove, without having to deal with a bunch of loose strap ends and something that won't work loose during a road trip.

I carry a roll of duct tape when I haul.
Fold the excess strap neatly over itself and put a quick wrap of tape on it. They'll stay.
Or, once you get it all figured out, you could always cut off the excess strapping. Only leaving a foot or so of excess. But then you will have a bunch of short straps....

I don't want to say I've never cut a strap because I routed it badly..... because I have. Also had a load shift or a strap vibrate into something is was close to and then get frayed. (Once frayed, they are junk. Throw them away!) But for the most part, I've had my straps for years. I've lost more due to loaning them out..... buddies that don't know how to strap things properly, or just don't ever return them.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
