When did you start putting a "h" in Jon / John??

Wouldn't be without one! It packs a punch well beyond its weight (esp if used with appropriate multiplying blocks!) 👍🏻

Tirfor winches are ace! Even used mine to get an engine out of a car with it hung off of a front loader in a tractor once.

 

Good point on cable size. Cable length is rectified by using a shortened length to a seperate bond. Having said that, the cables can be pulled through to the desired length easy enough. We always stored both of ours with the cable removed and spooled on the cage (small one) or rolled and tied (big one). Always make sure you have spare shear pins and a screw driver or nail is not recommended!!!

3-4 mins Jon? It's got it's place, but it ain't like a powered winch. Horses for courses an all that 👍🏻

Get yourself a small car tyre and put the cable in it a lot easyer .

 

Better (possibly) get an old front tyre off a trail bike, 21" preferred, doesn't take as long to coil the cable in due to the larger diameter and you can hold it while you roll it along. The larger diameter over a car tyre makes it easier to shoulder carry and the bike tyre is possibly lighter than a car tyre.

 

I've just purchased an ACE Winch, from Securefix Direct I went for the 1600kg version, CE approved and £150. Saw Tirfors at that price on ebay but most were collection only which wasn't an option for me.
