A three inch stud-link chain weighs about 80 lbs. per link and that is some serious each time a link jumps the space between them. I'll bet I could saw a silo or a tank right down the middle.

I used a cable to shear the wooden legs on a raised cistern so that it would drop relatively centered. I ran the cable around through a snatch block on the back of a D6 and pulled it with a 963. I kept the D6 stationary and slowly closed the circle. It worked pretty well.

I have used heavy anchor chain to cut and break ships and barges on several occasions by either pulling the chain back and forth with tugs, winches, or cranes. This usually works quite well and is a very cheap and efficient method of ship breaking. I have never seen this technique used on shore-based structures but am quite confident it would work. Anyone tried this?
