Pulleys and strops to use with a Tirfor?

[Stephen Blair]

Ya got that right and there is a reason they last well, its because they are so cumbersome they barely see the light of day. I owned one for nearly 2 decades and it got used twice:laugh1:

 

 

Ha ha, pretty much somes it up

I've had one for years (think mines a T16) and wouldn't part with it. Its sorted landrovers out, trees and all sorts of other bits and bobs.

 

Certainly a worthwhile buy!

Add a couple of vehicle snatch blocks for changing pull angles etc. and the whole set up is quite portable. I also have a home made pullpal copy (ground anchor) and this does make it truly versatile.

I bought a winch from Safety Lifting Gear last year. I needed it for pulling logs that I am going to use my Alaskan Mill on, into a better position. When I am milling up a large log previously I had to cut a 2' section out in order to fit the mill in. Although my mate has got a big winch on the front of his landrover which is very handy, quite often he couldnt get near the log or I was milling on my own. Using the winch has saved me from some back breaking efforts and has been used on at least a dozen logs. I should have had one years ago!

I gave a hand to move a scrap Disco onto a trailer on Tuesday and it was thoroughly stuck with the back brakes seized on. We used a little winch from Aldi anchored to a tree with a strop and pulled it round and out of it's resting place to get it hung on the 90. The little winch did it with hardly any effort.
