Re: Chain Snaps & Smashes Through Windshield
Bullshit! Chains pop, rope/straps return energy. That's why we only use chains when pulling out. Rope/straps store/return energy, that's why we don't use them. Chains "pop and drop", ropes/straps kill. Got it?  |

Re: Chain Snaps & Smashes Through Windshield
Looks like a strap to me? Not to mention it looks more like a rock went through the windsheild?  |

Re: Chain Snaps & Smashes Through Windshield
Those small logging chains at not intended for that purpose. If he was using a tow strap, he would still be breathing.  |

Re: Chain Snaps & Smashes Through Windshield
Here on my farm, I use 5/8" Grade 70 chain for pulling out other tractors/trucks/etc. It has a working load of just under 8 tons. If you watch out for sales at either the implement dealers or at your farm supply stores, you can get them relatively cheaply, often cheaper than tow straps/ropes. |

Re: Chain Snaps & Smashes Through Windshield
had a strap hooked to the running vehicle and it looked like a strap at the jeep--maybe a chain in the middle

Re: Chain Snaps & Smashes Through Windshield
chains don't really stretch, so they can't store much energy...must've been a cable

Re: Chain Snaps & Smashes Through Windshield
I have a Jeep, and whenever I use the winch I open my hood and lean it back on the windshield, this is the reason why.
