I'd read about this 'one winch - 2 way pull' trick but not seen one in action ,quite neat . Rope goes through a sleeve in the chassis so you can pull at the front too .Fronty sounded nice but didnt seem to get about too well seemed to be digging rather than gripping !

And next is a Belarus tractor ! Notice wave about to swamp suzuki man on left Laughing

An its 3 all stuck ,one at the fronts a winch challenge truck too so I rekon he should have got wet and ground anchored out ,pulled out by the 6x6 Zil behind the trees .

A toyota and it was running ok Shocked

Its an idea that some winch challenge zooks use so they have one Gigglepin GP83 on the rear to help with balance on drop offs too Gary but on those the ropes straight off the top of the drum up the tube to the front and you pull a loop out the normal fairlead which is on the back and stick a snatch block in .

Q for you - can you winch youself backwards with a front mount winch ? Shocked

I reckon you could do it but you'd need something to guide the line.

Bloke (ex REME ) was showing those who were interested today , you need 2 snatch blocks and a 3 fixed points and you dont really winch you drag the car backwards as the mechanical advantage is in the rear 2nd snatch block ! Its on utube on an aussie post as well .

Might be usefull one day Smile

i see a clip on youtube today think it was in australia they had a landcruiser truck and was pulling it backwards with a front winch as a demonstration i will try and find it and add link but i was looking at using hi lift as winch if anyone wants to see

"reverse winch recovery" youtube i think u need trees in the perfect positions and be very rear to actually use that method
