I haven't seen you post lately. Good job on being a Good Samaritan. It always makes me feel good helping other motorists with any kind of vehicle when I can. It feels better if they actually thank you, which most people do. Whatever he was speaking, I don't, but I understood right, left, and battery, so we would have figured something out. That rope was stronger than it looks but he was prepared to be towed. Attaching the tow rope anywhere above the tow hitch isn't a good idea but obviously it worked out anyway.

Yeah I've been a little busy, and thanks! and yes thankfully i could make out the left and right and thankfully he wasn't to far from home, and i agree that rope probably wasn't the best but it made it through lol thanks for the input on the video i really enjoy making them, and yeah i didn't want to tie it to the bar but the rope wasn't thick and so i thought the round bar would be better instead of flat metal, thanks again for your feedback!!

If you put the rope through the hitch hole it probably would have broke. Neither way was ideal but you did the best you could with what you had at the time. One of my friends had to tow a few quads and was lucky enough to always have a ball mounted to loop the rope around.
