well I must be another oddball ...... around here every one has been in the logging buisness for years .. and we have all used snap binders for years , and I have never seen an accident with them except once when a chain link actually broke , I saw some trying to use those ratchet binders but once they got full of pine tree sap they were usually thrown
along with a few choice words .. however I am not saying they aren't used , just the people I know .....
WEll is that an old KONGSKILED chisel plow , we had one similar when I was young and , we
used to plant soy beans ........ seems like the one we had also had clod breaking rollers
on the back that was spring loaded .
I haul alot of junk cars by stacking them 2 high tying them down with snap binders. It takes 2 first one pulls the slack then with out removing the first one use another on top of the first then when the first is lose move it a link and retighten keep doing this and you can cut a car in to. I have never been hurt or know any one that has been but exstream care needs to be used when they are tight. I use one of those open end bars and just kick it lose. You can get one of these bars free but that is very dangerus to flat bed drivers throw them off there trailers just past were they loaded last. I wanted one so one day going to KC Mo i kept a eye out the first 2 were black i wanted the more rare red one on they way out there was a red one just were it left the trailer. That has been close to 30 years ago now i have still have that faded red bar.Ratcheting.
They may seem more time consuming, but in my experience the snap binders never get as tight as you'd like them when you first put them on. By the time you take them loose and adjust them by another link or two you can have the ratchet type all cranked down tight and be on your way.
