Thanks a heap guys!.
I joined these forums last weekish, and looked though a bit to find some safety facts about towing from a ball.
No more then hours later I was rung, told to get to salt creek and found myself 3 hours from home fishing on the beach.
On my way down the beach I was stopped and asked for a tow, the towee just so happened to sling the snatch em over the ball. Where I proudly stated, nah mate, you'll kill someone like that :P.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

A shovel and attaching it securely to tow points on both vehicles, and instead of slamming it with my car as the others said, I slowly pulled her out, I've unstuck a few people off that beach now, please note none of them were patrols!
Good to see we have another converted follower (with regard to towballs) Keep spreading the towball gospel mate, welcome to the forum too!
Cheers, the ferret.
Good stuff mate, a ripper story
