Off roaders - tree surgeons - what recovery chain?

I bought three of these Tirfor ground anchors to recover a windblown tree. I want to connect the three anchors together in the middle of a lawn to pull the limbs out. Chain would be better than rope to link them using shackles.

 

I dont know owt about chains, but thought it would be worth buying something like a recovery chain that I could use elsewhere.

If you use the anchors you can join them with chain or rope. If you use rope you can make a self equalising rig that shares the load equally between the pins. There isnt a huge ammount of grip in the pins, three will only do small branches

 

When you say recovery and other uses, chains can do a lot of damage if used for fecovering vehicles.
