when in my truck bed, or trailer, I put them in 1st gear, set parking brake, then turn the fuel off, then remove key. ALWAYS TURN THE FUEL OFF WHEN HAULING AROUND !!. they bounce, when they do this ?, the carb's float needle will not seat, letting fuel in. then I use four 2 inch ratchet straps rated at 1500lb loads. over kill ?, yes !. been down that road once..never again !..lol.
When towing ATV, parking brake on? Tranny in Neutral?
Good morning!
I'm new here, and have spent the last hour or so researching the best way to secure my '16 Rancher to a trailer. I feel confident that the four ratchet straps I have will do the trick and I now know the best points are to secure it.
My question is concerning the brakes and transmission when towing. Maybe I didn't use the proper search terms but I didn't find a lot about it.
Personally, I think that leaving the tranny in neutral and using the parking brake (all done after strapping the trailer down to my trailer) is the way to go but I am deferring to the much more experienced members here to either agree or convince me there is a better way.
Thanks in advance everyone!

Now if I can find some good places to ride in Georgia I'll be all set!
