I know it might have been your best option, but even with the light weight of a Falcon, winching off the Tow Ball isn't safe practice.
People have died from doing that.
not from winching from snatching id hardly say ud get enough stretch out of it?
(i could be wrong)

Maaaaaaate I agree
using the tow ball to snatch of is madness - I use Dyneema Rope! (Low stretch)
If the towball came off I doubt it would slingshot into my Jeep, I think towing a big caravan would put more strain on it than I did - but I take your point, and it did cross my mind as I hooked it up.....
cheers Hunty
Yeah it was pretty simple.. had to give it some berries to get it to start rolling the bumps it was stuck on..
because it was just a single bogie it didnt take much for itto loose traction.
And no the snatch was prolly not rated to the weight of the coach. but i deffinately wasnt towing anywhere near that load.. just through alot of mud at him.
