[Star Wars] What's the tow cable on my Snowspeeder actually for?

I know there's some chatter about using them to trip AT-ATs if the Empire finds us, but outside of that, if you hook the cable (which is on a high-power harpoon gun for some reason) onto anything (a broken-down Snow Speeder, probably. They're real pieces of shit) all you end up doing is damaging it more and then dragging it along the ground while your engines make pained whining sounds.    
  

  
And what idiot thought to put a pair of ruddy great cannons on a recovery craft? Do you know how rarely we actually get to use those, and how often I wish we had a bit more room for... oh I don't know spare parts? So we can keep these shit-heaps in the air a bit longer?

The T-47 Airspeeder is a cargo hauler. The tow cable ends in a magnetic head which is attached to cargo containers which is hauls. It was never designed to be a combat fighter.... but Rebels make do with what they have.
