Heavier than a snatch? Think they were listed at 3t.

I enjoyed the recovery stuff was only TA though.

Bit of a thread hi jack but did you do northern bluebell?

Na never heard of it, is it one of the recovery camps. I was a tank mechanic so didn't get too involved with recovery stuff. Used to love tuning the snatches up and taking them a blast, top heavy as ####, but if U did the power and the steering lock on nice and smooth U could have it on 3 wheels drifting!!!
Built with ebay!!!

9000lbs !! To recover an sj?! Really? My 8274 only pulls 8000lbs !!

I have done a lot of winching and I have never stalled either of my winches, and I have been fully stuck before !!

A few of the lads I go offroading with have warn m6000 winches, they seem to do ok.

The thing is nower days cheap eBay winches pull 12,000lbs.

But I know nothing !! :)
