Bubba Rope

[325 WSM]

Just curious if anyone has any personal experience with these things or any of the other Kinetic Recovery ropes. They're pretty spendy but I like the idea. Tow straps & chains work good but the rubber band effect would be pretty helpful. Thanks

they work good. allow a half ton to pull out a 3/4 ton or bigger without beating the tittysprinkles outta both vechiles. just don't use a chain with one of these ropes cause if one or the other breaks you have a giant slingshot looking to wreck windshields tailgates and anything else in its way

Any idea about what size to get I have a 3/4 ton Mega Cab, was thinking 1" or 1 1/4"

 

[Tikka280ai]

I would go with the 1.25 just because never know what you might run into

Bigger the better is the normal rule, or so I have heard.

You could buy one made by a ND company:

Buy a Ford and avoid getting stuck anymore.

First, not at gun point. Second wasn't me that was stuck. Thanks Fullrut never heard of it before would much rather keep it local

Just got the call about a half hour ago that my new ford Raptor will be ready to pick up at 3:30. Great news since I ordered it over 5 months ago.

You can't get stuck in one, because you are afraid to drive into the deep stuff! ::boxing::;:;boozer

Somebody dropped some coin. I heard some dealers were asking way over the sticker on those, especially in the west coast.

Interesting. Hadn't heard of these before. We have several nylon's. These Bubba ropes appear to be smaller and lighter for the same size and strength?

East and west coast even Texas they're asking $10-$40K over sticker. If someone wants to pay $10K over they can have mine that's for sure.

Supposed to be excellent for extracting snowmobiles

Used one the other morning south of Minot, kid said he's been stuck for 4 hours, this was at 7:15 AM. He said he was trying to impress a girl, It was a Ford so not sure how he was impressing her. They work good but also I used our snow-cat

long time lurker here. funny story, pulled into an apartment parking lot with tractor box scraper to clean it after a storm and a kid had a chevy traverse buried in the snow. they tried to pull it out with a pickup with bald tires couldnt do it, backed up my tractor and the kid said
theres only one place to hook to on this thing so he hooked up the chain and i took off slowly, the chain barely tightened and i pulled the
transmission cooler out of his vehicle. wtf

Probably a Hillary supporter.

I've seen them used on stuck sleds and they work great
