That first picture is rather startleing to me. If that chain slipped off somehow (which they have been known to do) it looks like it could go straight through the windsheild. I also like to use the tow hooks on the front of my truck to pull stuff since it make it easier to see what you are doing. However, I try to use the one on the passenger side (that seat empty of course

) to avoid the possible. Just a thought.

I'm surprised there isn't fuel and oil all over the ground.

It doesn't hurt to put a heavy blanket or something else on the chain to help keep it from flying back if it slipped to help absorb some of the energy. I wonder if a line threaded thru the chain every 10 or 15 links tide at the tractor and the truck and about a foot or so longer than the chain (so it's not under tension) would also keep if from flying in the event the chain slipped off.

Dang...good thing he had ROPS...least he didn't learn a lesson the hard way.

I've seen guys run them thru some old fire hose, and then band clamped at each end to keep the hose from riding up.
