I know this is a dumb idea, cringe worthy.
This website seems to be a mecca for people doing these types of things, maybe there is a solution out there.
The other day we broke a chain pulling the tile plow with a d6H. The 5/8" grade 100 hook broke and made a mess out of the grill on the tile plow. The good news is no one was hurt. Both cabs are well protected.
Its the jerking on the chain that does the harm. The hook is rated for way more than the tractor can pull, unless you back up and get a run at it!
So anyway, I know for sure there are others who have done the same thing. It there any good strategies for shock adsorbers out there?
I have seen a tire do wonders in this situation. Pretty hard to lug a tire big enough to handle this around though.
