Not stupid at all. But far from experienced. Nylon straps of some types (in some states and jurisdictions) can be used. What ever they are, they need to be powerful enough to smash down the tires to some degree. The tire looks to be not loaded from the binding. The straps might hold the tractor to the trailer if inverted, but it would not retain the tractor on the trailer if it impacted another vehicle or object at highway speeds. The block should have been screwed down, then the tractor compressed into it a little, then a second block installed behind , then the tractor pulled rearward until the pressure on the blocks was equal, indenting the tire somewhat front and back. There is no reflection on you, just a clear experienced based concern that the load was just not secure. Nylon and poly stretch as much as 30% of their length when under the stress of maximum strength. The motion this provides is deadly. Chains can stretch, but only at some where near twice their rated load. Until then they do not allow the vehicle to move at all! This is not a flame, it is reasonable and prudent information. Jim
