@gscavezze No he wouldn’t. Why do people always think that chains will do that if they snap? Aviation cables are light enough with a much higher tensile strength allowing them to stretch and provide the tension necessary to fly like that. Chains don’t.
@jfdb59 Are you saying you would willingly stand in front of a chain and have a link let loose at the rock end? Chains do stretch and do fly back. Watch the TV show Gold Rush for a good example of a chain breaking and flying back. It would have been deadly, and they said it not me. There’s no reason to down play the potential dangers. If I was there the guy in the bed would not have been there. Thanks for the comment.
The risk is definitely not worth it, you’re right there. But in my experience on the farm I’ve never heard of a chain whipping back and I’ve witnessed them breaking. they just drop because they’re so heavy. I wouldn’t trust a TV show unless it’s myth busters. Now a braided cable on the other hand, I wouldn’t stand behind that in a million years.
@jfdb59 Thanks for the level headed response. The TV show showed the chain fly back so that’s why I mentioned it. Your are correct, cables are probably more dangerous then a chain. Better safe then sorry. -Ed
Strong Truck!
@Chooman69 Very strong indeed!
@edzgarage ya thats a weet truck got all the right mods and none of nonsense ones
@dirtrider383 Thanks!
Were you guys in 4LO ?
@91CTD Yes, he was.
just keep going you aint digging holes yet
@dkchapss He is still learning. He did move that monster though.
If that chain were to snap, guy in back of truck may loose his head……literally.
@gscavezze You are so right! I was not there when this vid was made. I told them the very same thing.
rock garden… on steroids?
@RedneckTypeOfFun lol Yep!
u coulda used ur tractor
@ESP471 It can’t pull rocks that big. It’s not heavy enough.
@edzgarage i see thx for telling me
I could have pulled that out with my half ton chev.
@Z71offroad2 LOL Okay!
get a longer chain then it would done it no prob
@1997cummins1 Really! A longer chain will give the truck more torque? How does that work???

@jfdb59 ive had a chain wip from about 25 feet away bulling a truck out with a tractor but agreed i would never even stand close to a cable lol.
@edzgarage it will give the truck space to reverse to be able to spin forward with some speed to yank the rock out
