Best way to strap down a Z530R or any zero turn?

I am picking up my new Z530R on Saturday. I was thinking about how I was going to Strap it down to my trailer.
I figured that I could use axle straps around the front frame between the wheel and the platform then X the straps to the trailer.

How do you secure the rear of the mower?

Does anyone have a better or tried and true method of securing a zero turn?

Thanks for the advice. I ended up using axle straps on the front frame between the platform and the front wheel then X the straps to the deck. I used the advice of Jester_2320 and found the rear tie down points on the mower and ran the straps straight back to the deck tie downs.

The mower had no chance to move after that. If I start moving it around on a trailer very much I will probably get a different trailer and use the method that coaltrain suggested.

My first zero turn and I have figured out that this may take a bit to get used to using it. My yard looks like it was mowed by a drunk.
