I use a 2" ratchet with a flat hook to pull those too tight snap binders, especially in tight places that an out of control winch bar might damage a $100,000 tractor.

170# here so my body weight helps me haul another 150 pounds of freight (or a lot lizard) J/K.
Seriously though my BMI is an advantage because I will not be in and out of hospitals for the last 20 years of my life. When I get home I can go ride dirtbikes with my kids, or go hiking with my wife...
Yeah its a real B**ch needing a cheater bar thats a foot longer than yours but the advantages of not needing a taxi-cab to get from the fuel island to the fuel desk outweigh everything else.
What a sad world we live in when people legitimize their laziness by claiming the virtues of being fat.BigRedBigRig, Shardrk, Dna Mach and 2 others Thank this. -
Ancra literature says 4" strap is properly tightened when 100lb.ft is applied to end of a standard (34") winch bar. (IIRC)
So hanging a 300 lb porker on a cheater bar on a winch bar is way too frikkin tight. Use another strap if you feel there's not enough securement.SHC Thanks this. -

Hanging pork on a steel bar is very up scale in certain circles.
