[QUOTE="axeman, post: 102105, member: 252"] I'm buying a hand winch. The reason is that I've never used a winch and I've done plenty of off road, bush bashing. I've got a high lift jack that doubles as a winch and has got me out of some tight spots. Fair enough, if I had a winch I could have got out quicker. A hand winch can be used if I got no other choice and have to come out backwards. I've been on greasy off camber tracks were the ute has gone sideways into a tree, using the high lift jack to pull it sideways and the hand winch to pull it forward I've got out of it unscaved. If a hand winch or 12v electric becomes overloaded just use a block and double it up for twice the pulling power, it'll be slower that's all. :) Mick [/QUOTE]
