Hi Tom...

I definitely do not want to use any metal chain or cable...too
dangerous!

I am really just looking for a required pounds of pull rating for a
tow strap.

We will be on hard dirt, so our tires will probably not have a lot of
traction. We could also go for 4x6 mode to reduce traction.

Thank you.
