Winch advise series 2 LR

[DM TREES]

I use my 1965 land rover in the woods on a 1000 acre estate at the moment it's all good but once we get a bit of rain it will change

What winch would be good for self recovery just in case i get stuck loads of massive trees to winch off

Would I also need to change the front bumper ?

Thanks in advance

You can mount the winch into the existing bumper if you can fabricate and weld but it's easier to buy one a bolt it on, a winch and winch bumper new would be around £700.

 

You can buy a winch tray which makes the job a lot easier.

 

The best value winch is without a doubt the TDS Goldfish @ £350.

If you have got a tow hook get one that fits on that, that way its there to tow yourself out of trouble and not further into it. also you haven't got 80 odd lb sitting on your dumb irons.
