    Technically, you should never, ever, tow with a Snatchy.
    Sometimes in the bush then needs dictate otherwise but it should be limited to an absolute minimum.

    Why?
    Because if you are travelling at any speed above fast walking pace you can kinetically load the vehicles to two or three times its mass.
    So much so that they have no braking effort or steering and are uncontrollable if something goes pear shaped esp in corners, descents or difficult sections of track.

    I would also be very wary dragging firewood.
    No biggee with smaller stuff but if a decent log digs the nose in and the strap loads up you could get a sight more than a towball thru the window.
    Think what happens when a bull bar lets go, there was a fatal with that happening about two or three years back

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
