4WD Action - 114 Terrain Tamer Hand Winch

[byoungizzle]

I just bought a come along with three hooks, at this point the third hook is attached to the winch. What is the use of that third hook? The come along is rated at 8000lb for a single line pull.

do australians like jeeps? i always see toyotas in the australian videos.

[subcomandante77]

What is the name of the winch hes using?

[stewartx5]

@subcomandante77

This type of winch is known as a Tirfor winch. It's commonly sold as the Griphoist winch in the USA, but can be found under other brand names. There are several models available, ranging in single pull capacities of 2000lbs to 8000lbs. Their most significant plus is unlimited wire rope capacity (long reach), while a somewhat high price tag (largest model selling for $2000 ~ $4000) is their Achilles' heel. You can often find them cheaper (used) on eBay.

it might be "hard work" but pulling out a 3000 pound piece of rusted 50+ year old farming equipment off my land using the hand winch I bought for 25 bucks was quite easy and quite entertaining.

You really slow thinking Kid.

[transistence]

In Australia, they don't call them Jeeps, they call them "four wheel drives".

@saminalla the odds of that happening are very nill, i use open hooks for recovery all the time

[drumsalltime]

its a big heavy space taking kit. if you really cant afford a which, get a hand which otherwise I really wouldnt bother with all this stuff.

Call towing company Pal......

@GoKurdistan

Stuck Driver: Uhh, i need a tow

Towing company: ok where are you

Stuck driver: Im 150 kms past the spruce tree, then another 12 kms past the birch tree, and when you see the poplar, turn left, climb that hill, go another 15 kms, then cross the river with your tow truck, then you will see a large mud hole. Drive through that and im just another 10 kms down the trail, you cant miss me!

Your a fucking retard

[GoKurdistan]

@Madriver10 Hookup your mothers PUSSY for faster action

[Madriver10]

@GoKurdistan

ahhhh i get it.....you have a mental disorder.

Would you honestly call a tow truck if you were stuck in the middle of nowhere? You are clearly a city slicker, because first of all, where im from, cell phones dont work where we play, tow tucks cant get half as far as my truck can, and it just plain wouldnt happen to get a tow truck out to the middle of nowhere. You would probably have to call a sky-crane in from europe or something.

"Hand winching is damn hard work" - didn't your mother tell you to eat the crusts of your bread when you were a little tike? hahaha bloody good systems these though, cheers

[TheFullershane]

looks like a heavy system.

orange is my favorite color

[angelvetto19]

nice winch, there are no limits for that; front and rear tow, engine broken, never stall out

[8phatkat8]

what did he say at 4:41 seconds?

[danjacs69]

ok, for the benefit of the aussies, what is a come along?

[matt3202]

basically the same, just google it

[jebanjo1]

thats looks good but i would always just use a come along. they work great, cheaper, easier to use and less parts.

[theburnyvan]

that man deserves a beer good on ya mate

[bry258]

this thing is way too much work. all you need is a come along and some chain a lot cheaper, easier, and in my opinion more reliable.

[adonis0887]

i also don't understand why you'd go through all that when you can just use a come along....

[cbtalker205]

That has got to be the best device I have ever seen. Where can I get one and about how much does it cost?

[Dylanbook199]

[idriveabucket]

[crmarlinfishermen]
