Its just what your used to buddy. for our fert trucks they have kenetic ropes, bloody strange the 1st time you use them.. For tractor on tractor or truck i use chain and slowly pull tight then just lug, used a wire rope once, never again, had dads bulldozer, pulling away then snap.... made a mess just missed dad in the truck, had a big birds nest around the dozers saftey frame, glad it was bush rigged....
Seen to chains pulled in half between 2 bulldozers, that was funny,
