It's a SUPER DUTY! But what the heck does it do?
What happens here
To facilitate moving the feeder, create two tow straps using approximately 12 feet of durable rope for each. Tie a secure loop (about 5 inches in size) at each end of the ropes. Attach a non-metallic carabiner (plastic or rubberized) to one end of each rope. This carabiner will connect to the towing vehicle (ATV, UTV, or pickup truck) without scratching the vehicle's finish. The loops on the other end will attach to the feeder's tow points. The presenter uses a specialized 'DataShark' zip tie tool to secure the rope knots with heavy-duty all-weather zip ties for extra strength and neatness.
Goal: Create durable tow straps for easy relocation of the feeder
