Kinetic rope used in the right circumstances is bloody great but not on a tow ball
Drive off at normal pace not hell for leather, and a stuck truck can be pulled out nice n quick. No good however if the stuck truck is bogged down in the goo and the axles are acting like bloody ground anchors. Equipment selection is the key
yep agree completely, learnt the hard way on the stones in mud issue, will make me a series of ss tubes on a couple of strings to run it over a bank in future, we have to meet one day, Rick
