Default Brush bar strength question

I put a factory brush bar on my D2 last night and noticed it has 2 holes in it that look like they would be used for pulling if myself or someone else was stuck. My question is how much can you safely pull with this brush bar? I was surprised at how light the brush bar was so it made me wonder about the strength of it for pulling.

I got REALLY stuck, and was winched out by one of those holes. It'll be just fine.

Thanks for the info, glad to see the brush bar is more than just looks.

The brush bar replaces the stock recovery point that is on the driver side. There is no reason why you wouldn't be able to put the same load there as on the stock recovery mount.
