Going To Try This Tow Strap For My PRO RMK

[Pro-8250]

I am just throwing this out here because I thought these were a good deal. I mainly want them to use as slings but I also need a tow strap. 2"x20' 3,333 pounds working load limit and a breaking strength of 10,000 pounds. Which means 5,000 pounds of towing capacity. I don't know of any sleds that weigh that much. I know there is a joke in there somewhere. Anyway, $2.99/strap after rebate at Menards.

In this situation, never cut a Ty-Rap. Twist them. If you cut them it will leave a razor sharp edge.

Nice snug fit. No movement at all. I hope I never have to use it.

Almost strong enough for a yamaha.

I usually just tow with two short straps from ski loops to bumper.
Like >2" between.
That way you don't need a rider on the towed sled.

Tow buddy FTW

waiting for some of our "friends" from the other forums to tee off on this thread

anyway, great idea to have more than one strap. We have pulled sleds out of some deep holes and found that the best way to do it is hook 2 sleds up in line and then hook up the dead sled at the end of the line.... did that make sense? basically hook up 3 sleds all in a row, dead sled in the back. Anyway, if it did not make sense and you are curious shoot me a pm and I will draw you a picture. The two riders in the front have to be coordinated - especially the guy in the middle.

Cheers,
Perk

Those straps work wonders for getting sleds unstuck. A bunch of guys working together can get just about anything unstuck pulling on one of those.

A guy blew a corner one weekend and his beavertail rev it was 20+ feet off the trail and 20 feet down an almost straight up river bank. 5 of us pulled that sled up the embankment in quick time.
