LJ,
Don't use the front wheel even if the strap and forks are rated for that load. The bike will rotate around the wheel when its off the ground and roll right out.

Use 3 or more points near the top of the bike for stability. Use a strap strong enough to compensate for the jerky motions of a backhoe. I hope your backhoe operator is a buddy.
