wish mine was that fast:o

would have been very interesting to see the same deep mud winch with his return line hooked up to the front axle.......

it was interesting to see how close the onlookers and winchy were to the winch rope.
it's said that the plasma rope just drops when it breaks, but i still wouldn't trust it that much,
anyone here with experience of plasma breaking?
what did it do?

how hard would it be to clean all that mud out in the first vid..

Ive never seen it in person, but I believe that it does have a little energy and snap with some movement....that being said would you rather me throw some rope or some steel wire at you....:D

Let's just say it was pure environmental vandalism for him to be ploughing up that much dirt for no real reason other than having some fun and it's morons like him and those who filmed his criminal activity that will get 4wd banned by the greenies

Plasma drops to the ground and has no real recoil when breaking.
I have witnessed it's failure twice, both times were due to excessive contact with a pointy rock, I have never whitnessed plasma breakin under load alone (I am sure it would be possible of course).

As for cleaning all that mud :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Why couldnt they just have reset the cable a couple of feet higher on the anchor point? Waay easier on the earth, vehicle but not so good for the anchor tree.

As for the second video it couldn't have been a timed event.

Cheers

setting the fixed point a coupke of feet higher would do 2/5ths of bugger all...maybe just create more leverage against the tree, but no better for the rig...the axles arent getting lifted out, and they are plowing more than anything. with coil sprung vehicles the axle wants to drive deeper into the mud...better would be returning the double pull back to the axle....

I think youll find the 2nd vid was indeed a 4x4 event....it was the first one i was not sure about
