So I got some goodies in today and spoiler alert, I may have gone a bit too large on the D Rings lol

Those are the unbreakable shackles also, I was concerned they were gonna be too large but they are not, they will work great.

Idk about the D rings, I will either send those back or use them as a tow point or something. Sending stuff back is such a hassle lol.

If you keep them you will find a use for them.

For replacement ratchet webbing, buy a tow strap and cut in half, or cut one hook off.

I still might try and use one on the front of the tractor, idk about the other. I like the idea of 2 D-Rings on the front vs two, but the ones I have are rated for like 45k lol, only prob would be is if what they are welded to fails.

I thought about using the other on the front of my truck as a anchor point since it’s 2wd but even then the bumper would be in way of the frame. So idk.

But it has to be stitched together on one end. Who stitches it together and who among us has done it? Plus, if the stitching cost is prohibitive, then I would be better off buying a new one even if the quality was a notch below what I would have with the replacement strap.

Nope. Remember that the long strap has hook on one end and other end just gets threaded thru the ratchet drum.

D-rings make excellent paper weights but, not much else IMHO.
