I don't about a tow strap, but I broke a 5/8 steel chain in a tug o war with
my M211. The chain did not last more than a couple of seconds before it
snapped.

Hi List...

If two deuces were to get into a tug-of-war using a tow strap, how
strong would the tow strap need to be (lbs rating) so that the deuces
tires would slip before the tow strap would break?
