i love my rope. 33% stretch, hits the end hard, hold the brakes and the other truck moves  ==np
hardest ive used it is i pounded the hell out of it  pullin our dead ford on tractors out of a swamp with
my chevy on 44s.  bout 20 hard yanks, hard enough i had to put on my seatbelt or eat steering wheel.
im sold.. f straps ive gone thru 3 straps in the same amount of time ive owned my rope. all i can say is
get a good one and you wont be dissapointed.

Rizzo... you dont need a rope u need a 2 inch cable. the pulling you do with that tank you could
use chains and it wouldnt matter  applaudd

we've used ropes straps shains and cables, as long as what your using is rated for MORE than what your gonna be putting it through you'll be fine, just take good care of what ever you buy and dont leave it sitting in your yard in the water mud and sun for a year and expect it to be ok.....it won't be

It is usually like that when I'm on dry stuff, but I end up giving it a little tug with the big trucks quite often. I have some big military chains. I use a 5/8 to pull my tractor out all the time. works fine. slow, smooth pull.

if you dont clean your straps when your done useing them they will rot from the inside out. the sand will cut the  thread.

same with  rope, you will need to clean them to or the same thing will happen.

i've  had  straps for 8 yrs and have had no trouble with them i wash them after every bog 6 x 30 and a  6 x 50.  50,000 lb


rope  or  strap, clean them after words they will last a long time.

I have a 20' rope that I beleive was made by the guy in Frankenmuth. The rope is probably 8 years old now, and I'm constantly using it all the time and I stand behind it 100% I've even used it to yank a 4020 Jd out of the mud.. It took about 10 good yanks and the rope never gave out. It's also a lot easier on trucks then a chain or a strap that doesn't stretch!!!

ranger dave said some good wash the mud off them and hang my strap up to dry.  also keep them out of the sun light and heat. I have some straps that are over 25years old. I don't use them for pulling out stuck trucks, but to flat tow somebody.
