Sure wish I had a big-load picture update but it's been pretty lame this year. We've brought it home LOADED a few times but all baby shat, nothing better than 24" so far. Boy and I are headed up hunting again tomorrow and still five Sunday's left. We're looking for a statue, a farkin Goliath that we can drag home in big blocks.
The winch works awesome but it's really kind of disappointing. 8000lbs pull (advertised) won't even drag the big fella down the dirt road. We rigged up to a full stem down the bank on a high-line and it flat-out stalled. Mondo battery and cables, big amps, nothing - locked rotor. Put the toy away, turned the truck around and hooked to the hitch. Yarded that thing out like a dead lizard. Upgrades are in order here, one day a hydraulic setup on PTO. Don't get me wrong, I could prolly yard a few Toyota's out of the ditch on one line but I was really hoping for more. If I was stuck in a bog it wouldn't pull me out.
