OK I'll toss this out there, I have towed my atv as far as 1800 miles one way NON stop from pavement to dirt back roads on MANY MANY MANY trips over 800+ miles as well
I simple put atv on trailer, set parking brake,in Netural
I hook 1 very HD ratchet strap from foot peg to anchor point on trailer, per side
My anchor points are set up so its JUST to the outside of each front tire, tires cannot turn
I then use another HD ratchet strap from tow hitch to directly straight line to trailer's anchor point
and then I add a second HD ratchet strap around rear axle tube and again to trailer
I have NEVER taken the seat off, I have never had the atv move an inch and I have gone down some nasty back roads at 65+ mph towing, had a few close calls on icy roads where trailer broke loose and tried to pass the truck only to catch before there and do some CRAZY whipping action that I was sure the atv was GONE, and again its never moved an inch
NOW when I say HD ratchet straps, I mean GOOD one's, 2-3 inch wide that have a LOAD holding limit of 5,000 lbs and a BREAKING point of closer to 15,000 lbs
NOT little wally world 1 inch straps
I have towed my atv all across the USA and again this is what works for me
MY 2 cents here!
