One thing to consider is that with lag bolts you have to drive the entire
bolt in. At 4" long, that's a lot of driving to do. Conversely, with
machine bolts (such as carriage bolts) all you've got to do is drill a
through hole and attach the nut.

Just something to think about as you get to building. On my ice rink last
year I switched after the second lag bolt to carriage bolts and got the
thing assembled.

I used an impact. It was not a problem. I think that I would not
hesitate to use this ring for general pulling of this around the yard,
but when it comes to winching it into the trailer, I may attach a slig
somewhere else.
