Neither are 95% of all LCO's, including those on this website.
Although I do think they should be secured.

Please, please, please, use heavier straps on your mowers...
I like the use of space and the toolbox.

:-/ mixed reactions here.....:-p
the gas tanks are tied down when transporting, i had just filled 'em up and remembered i owed the forum some pics.... about the front mower, we have ratcheting straps rated at like 8 thousand pounds, i find these pull type easier to use, but i think I'll go back to the ratcheting ones.... and i will for sure put one across the front, even with the current ones on there, the only mower that moves is my bobcat with my parking brake set :(
thanks for looking, truck and work pics coming soon
oh, and im going to college for automotive technology ATM....my partner is a senior in high school, he wants to do something with aeronautical engineering.....yep, we have backup plans HEHEHE

Please dont' call your self a landscaper, if you have other plans, cant stand people who think they can buy a mower or two and onley want to TRY to make money. This is a profession. and now a days, their should be a licesens you have to get to keep people like this from wreckin this industry. dont take it personal iam not trying to affend or bash you but when you say U HAVE OTHER PLANS, your not a landscaper. and that makes others who are Real landscapers a LITTLE upset. Sorry for being blunt, but thats the way it is.
