@byoungizzle Since Crocodile Dundee didn't have the courtesy to answer your question, I will.One hook goes to anchor point strap around tree.Opposite hook goes to vehicle.Hook on end of cable goes back to hand winch(AKA come-along). This acts as a pully and doubles the pulling power. If you have enough cable to utilize this configuration, do so, for safety sake. It will take twice as long, but if you are stuck real good,it's nice to know your cable probably won't snap!Have a good one!
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.
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.
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.
@bizzarrogeorge By opposite hook, I meant the middle, free floating hook!
