Agreed
I load & unload with an electric winch on an upgrade using gravity
to keep the vehicle from rolling freely inside the trailer.
Nothing wrong with attaching an axle strap to the front axle
of a Model A or Model T to load it in a trailer.
There were axles bent new coming out of the factory.
There were axles bent in car accidents.
There were axles bent from towing cars long distances.
There were axles bent from pulling out tree stumps & fence posts.
You don’t bend an axle pulling a vehicle that is in neutral
in and out of a trailer.
