Funny story. Warning this will only happen to my dumb A - -
Ok so I wanted the absolute best recovery system available for my new 2022 Honda pioneer 1000-3 Deluxe. I'm and Older guy (Semi Retired) and hunt alone. My buddies will only hunt feeders & food plots on shooting houses.
I'm typically 10-15 miles into the everglades. No cell connection. I need the ability to self rescue. Sounds crazy but I love the adventure and willing to put in the work.
I went with the Wyeth Scott 3 ton puller instead of a winch. Figured it could pull 6k (4x SXS weight) no problem. The You tube videos show guys pulling trucks with this unit.
SXS got stuck about 8 miles in the glades ( 80 miles from my home) Awesome !! get to use my puller and 100' of extra rope. I start cranking and the machine would not budge. WARNING PSA ----- The force required to pull a stuck SXS 80' in silty mud is unimaginable. So.... I was able to recover the unit. The average force for each inch of cranking was about 100# and I was only able to crank the unit an inch at a time. The SXS was just trenching as I pulled
When you do the math 80'x12"/foot = 960 cranks at 100#. The recovery took me 3 hours. Loved the ability to recover at any angle and position but it was brutal.
Ended up going with a 6000# SATV winch. Set it up high (out of the water/mud) and it pulls from the front and/or rear via 2"-90 degree receiver setup.
