Hi guys,
Well, put the winch to the test yesterday! Slipped into a deep rut, high centered and both left wheels completely buried. TC bumper flexed forward about 3/4" under the first full suck. Winch only moved the machine forward an inch at a time (before it stalled - but at least it kept moving) Next thing on the equipment list is a snach block. That will bring the Warn 4500 up to 9000 lbs pull without going to a heavier cable or winch. TC bumper, winch and full Trail Armor UHMW skid plate are worth every cent!
