Transits and Winches

[Will Hinchliffe]

that method doesnt work at-all, there was a device made some years ago designed with this concept in mind, it was a flop.

 

much better idea would be a tifor, or simmilar hand winch-cheaper, more versitile, can use it for front or rear recovery, and gives you a work out too

 

It does work I know I have done it (in an Iveco) . Its a bit agressive and wont work if you have sunk to deep.

look here PWS winches, winches, roofracks, bicycle racks, 4 x 4 accessories, motorcaravan equipment

 

Cheers for the link mate. I'm on it. Found a local company who specialise in this field and have done a few transits. Fairly cheap as well.

You just tie an old rope to the rear wheel then tie it to the tree and get the transit to walk up the rope

 

Surely you'd need to have some sort of diff-lock to make this work. I have done it many times with a tractor, but you need to lock the diff, otherwise the opposite wheel will just spin....

I'd thought that too.

 

Done something similar with a tractor that had ground out on ruts, tied a strainer to the back of both rear wheels at ground level, locked the diff and reversed up - untie the strainer and repeat as necessary (hope that makes sense)
