Shane Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 No expert, but many years ago I was sent on a off road survival type course before being sent to Africa for work and the Land Cruisers were fitted with giant remote control electric warn winches. What amazed me was how you can easily increase the pulling power of the winch by using a simple pivot or pulley at the far end so instead of a single cable from the winch to say a tree, you attached a pulley at the tree and passed the cable back to the car. If you are going to buy one I would suggest buying kit with all the stuff to use it to the best of its ability. I guess the theory behind the pulley method is the same as the old cheap engine winches where the rope went through a series of pulleys to make it possible to be able to lift the weight with less effort.
