[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 348618, member: 642"] We always threw a heavy jacket on the tow rope so it would go down if something broke. We had special made nylon/cotton? ropes made for pulling 1 million pounds of rail cars when I worked at Busch Elevator in West Fargo. Of course we never pulled a million pounds with them but they were rated for that. Kept the ropes so long until we thought we need to replace. I would then take them and give them to farmers to pull out their tractors and combines. They couldn't break them even though they were used when they got them. We used to buy that rope on a big spool and always wondered what a spool of the rope cost. [/QUOTE]
