I bought a heavy 30-foot strap for my tractor, for pulling things. I also have a chain. I would never use a rope, because from my boating experience, I know a nylon rope can stretch 40% of its length, snap, and strike like a whip. Really bad things have happened when nylon lines have pulled metal cleats out and hurled them at people.
Question: do I have anything to worry about with straps and chains? The strap has slipped off under tension, and it does not seem like my tractor has the power to stretch it and turn it into a whip.
