Fell, technical, ballsy or just luck ?

Got Dyneema Bowrope on the winch mate, use it almost daily at the moment had it for 2 years if you look after it will outlast steel rope- as Stevie said lovely to use and far stronger than it looks but buy the best you can

Ohdearrr

 

Good winches though

 

These people sell a wireless remote, not sure if it will fit yours. WARN winches are very poplar amoungst offroaders, so most 4x4 places should be able to point you in the right direction

Nice work Dean.

 

technical, ballsy or just luck ?,

 

Well assessed, planned and executed, I'd say.

 

The job went how you planned it and expected it to go, therefore no luck involved.

 

I wouldnt have left my saw in the back cut though!

Sorry for the late reply Dean - Above and beyond that’s en excellent advertisement for the power of a quality winch (you should post that on a Landrover forum, or even send it to the winch manufacturer)

 

It must have saved you £££’s pulling it over in one like that, sometimes I’m too cautious, I would have taken 3 times as long swinging the limbs over into the field.

 

Years ago I felled a huge Oak that was weighted all one way over a bungalow with a Matador. It was in the days before digital cameras, but there were plenty of farmers taking pics, I’ll ask around and see if I can track a few down.

 

Nice job mate – I’m off to look at winches now!
