This memorial is at the sight that a young man was killed by a tow ball snatch attempt.
Makes it very real and hits home when you drive past it.

Yes or No I had a proper shackle receiver for my towbar so out of neccitity I used the receiver with a 5 t shackle where the tow ball fits in the tongue good or bad ?

That's fine you are using a designated tow jig via your tow bar

Hi everyone. Thanks for this discussion. I have been out with a friend who I thought was experienced. He suggested connecting my snatch strap to my towball to pull him out of the mud. I actually bent the tow bar while doing this. I wont be doing it again and thank God no one was killed.

Mate glad no one got hurt and a valuble lesson learnt
Theres only one thing tougher than my truck............. YES DEAR GOING TO DO THE LAWNS NOW
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries,can and do kill people and damage property
there is still idiots out there
last week at daughters sportsday at a local oval the barbeque truck got bogged weighs 8 ton on the oval right above a sprincler
yep down she went well at the end of the day the tarmac 4x4 yodas tried to pull him out using you guessed it the snatch strap over the tow ball
plenty of kids around the truck to helping push
my mate and i couldnt get over there quick enough with his gu patrol
he has a winch and after informing the yoda driver of the danger reply was do it all the time
just shows what idiots are about
we wound out winch connected to recovery point and pulled him out no effort at all
thanked by truck driver and he also said he kner about tow ball accidents but wanted to get towed out for free
and not to have to pay for a tow truck
mate then said well my fee is $50.00 and he payed up and left quickly
mate donated the money back to the school
