I'm still new to tractoring, and have another question.
One of the things I'll be doing a lot of is pulling trees around. Fallen logs mostly, but I'm also thinking about trying to pull some old dead trees out of my pond.
I'm trying to weigh the relative merits of chain vs. nylon strap. It seems to be a slam dunk for strap - a 3" one can pull unbelievable weight and is cheaper than heavy chain.
Also, I've seen what happens when a chain breaks under stress, and would prefer to not be around when that happens. Of course, I'm sure strap could do damage also...
