How to attach a tow or snatch strap

[Hi yo silver]

Another rule re. pulling with chains, etc.  From railroad derrick rules; Don't stand in line with the direction of the pull.  Hard to avoid at times, but a good rule to keep in mind.  HTH

I'm going to start by saying I don't have a clue, so pls don't follow my suggestions, but I do want some specific feed back. I haven't had to tow it YET, but I know the day is coming. I have had it sunk from approx 2" of the bay floors and was able to get out on it's own power.

From the front I would probably hook to the front axle, providing I was pulling directly forward. With that I would not be trying any jerking etc. More of a help along.

From the back , I would pull from each side of my tag axle or probably the trailer hitch. Don't think I can get up to the drives without putting pressure on the tag. Not sure pls give me some specifics, BOTN had some good ones.

One has to remember there is a signaficant amount of suction when sunk. I'd probably rip my bus in 2,

I don't think any vehicle should ever be pulled on very hard from the front axle except maybe on a smooth, hard surface.

I can just see the video now of the axle pulling out from under the bus and going away with the tow truck.

That's exactly the problem Gus - every year some poor farmer pulls a front axle off or even pulls a tractor apart by pulling on the front end.  And Grant has nailed the reason - the suction is unbelievable if you are actually down on the muck.  Best thing to do is stay out of the muck in the first place.  Next best is to wait for it to dry out and then get out the goon spoon.
