I also yank heavy loads. But I have no advice.
Pulled a loaded semi out with the excavator twice on Friday.
Pulled out the 3/4 ton Dodge and the skid steer yesterday. The half ton and the skid steer twice this morning.
I also have no advice. A 1” rope and a 3/8” logging chain both worked just fine. The front receiver for the semi, fwiw, has a standard pin. At 80K gross everything held as I moved the front end around and got her out of the snow bank.
I reckon a 4 runner would hold, as well. But, I guess those Toyotas are extra tough…..
