Thanks guys. I didn't know webbing stretched that much. I'll locate some chain nearby. I'm using my 484 to clear out these little stumps, so my 52hp should be up to the task. When I started doing these early this year I only had a David Brown 850 9about 35hp), which although it pulled a few out OK, I made the BIG MISTAKE of attaching the tow rope a bit too high on the rear end.
As soon as I came across one of the tougher stumps the front end came up on me........scared the living s**t out of me. That old DB had no roll over protection and if I'd not been quick on the clutch I'd have been in very big trouble.
Nobody should have to learn tractor safety in that way.
I've sold the DB now and got the 484. The cab it came with was a mess and as I really only use use it for mowing with a 8' finishing mower it only goes out in the dry, so I don't need a cab. I still wanted some protection though so I've stripped the cab of all the sheet metalwork and waht was left of the glass and now have a safety frame that I've since added front and rear worklights to. You can see the tractor as I got it (minus the cab) here:

I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
