Re: Do you pack a tow rope?

I picked up a 1 3/4" x 25' tow strap with steel hooks at each end from princess auto for under $10.
It works great and was real handy when I got high centered in the middle of a water hole I just through out the tow strap and got a pull never even got off my quad. I won't go out without one now!
Thanks

Re: Do you pack a tow rope?

For the sledding season we carry the same tow ropes, they work great for hauling home broken units like summitrics "thunderbunny".

Well what good does that do? If the guy is stuck, you probably will be too if you are only 6" away?!!?

Re: Do you pack a tow rope?

Honey, if a Honda's stuck I won't GET 6 inches away from him. He can stay stuck, unless he talks nicely to me........



Seriously, if anyone is stuck, I'll help winch them out regardless of brand. It could happen to anyone.

Re: Do you pack a tow rope?

bought 400 ft of blue amsteel rope and and made 2 50 ft pulling ropes, and also replaced the wire rope on our 3 quad winches, so far havn't used the extra pulling rope, but that amsteel on the winch sure pulls nice. also have a 15 ft tow rope from princess auto for wraping around trees if needed. will likely take the pulling ropes with the sleds along with the snow bunjie for the deep stuff. cant wait for snow bring it on.

Re: Do you pack a tow rope?

Check out eBay Store on eBay Canada ? CustomSplice: Search results for. they have all sizes of amsteel synthetic rope in various lengths, I picked up a 25' 3/16 amd a 35' 1/4" with loops on both end for under $60 shipped great for towing and winch extension plus very light weight and easy to store.

Any of you carry a tow rope?
What do you think?
Thanks
Some of the 1st things I bought!! I have a 2" X 6' towstrap (tree saver), a 2" X 20' towstrap and I bought a 100' X 1/4" winch cable with the req'd hooks etc,from Princess Auto, so I have 126' of tow strap capability, plus the winch cable. It also allows me to run a snatch block too.
IMHO, a must have!!
