. lugall winch release mechanism,

 

If it's biting you, I reckon you might be using it wrong then - you can ratchet the load off of it so the line's slack before letting it freespool, or you can with the one's I've seen/used.

Thank you for buying it off me Normandy Lumberjack:thumbup1:

 

Always hated ratchet straps, they wrap themselves together before use then refuse to come undone once done up.

 

More recently, a Carlton 4012 grinder, pig of a machine that like our Iveco gets stuck on slight slopes on wet grass.

There is a real knack to doing it correctly once you done it right you get used to doing it. Have to agree it is fiddly though.
