Cool pics.
Out of curiosity, where could I find set of chains for towing like that? I have been searching craigslist for awhile and haven't had much luck. I would want a set for emergency use, longer reaches, etc. I am guessing the people in my area aren't giving them up easily, thus the lack of search results. I would think new would be fairly expensive???

either way you look at it they both can be deadly. a ropestrap will streach more than a chain then when it breaks its like a rubber band. and my chain but being that short theres a vary little chance of it being deadly. if you worried about everything that could happen you may as well die now as anything and everything could be deadly.

A good trick is to put a coat or blanket over the chain/strap to keep it from flying to far. Of course, I did this when trying to roll over a big rock with my truck. Put the strap around it, put a new sweatshirt I had over it, and pulled. The rock rolled over 1/2 turn too many and pinned my nice sweatshirt under it. It was all torn up.

nice plow pics guys, but i still like my truck plow way better and warmer.
speaking form experince i was being pulled by a chain thri a snow bank yrs ago and yep snap! i ducked as the chain came thru the windshield where i was sitting
. of course we new it could happen as he was backing up to get a run for it and chains don't like to be jerked just for that reason. a big rope and strap does work nice for sure if you have one.

My WIFE just looked at your awesome pictures and happened to hone in on your times of the photos. She said" Now you have a half an hour go out and clear our 3ft snow driveway!"
Good job BTW!
