With the cost of electric winches being so low these days why would anyone need to revert to using a high lift jack, Bloody dangerous things to use.
Not only are the high lift jack dangerous and hard yakka to use they weigh not much less than an electric winch loaded up with synthetic rope as well.
This flip flop winch and high lift jacks belong in a bygone era and rightly so as far as recovery systems go, A simple set of maxtracks/Treds will get you out of most bogs and an electric winch is much easier/safer to use that these "Old School" techniques.
My old high lift jack has been gathering dust at the back of the shed for at least 10 years now and I have NEVER regrated not taking it away with me despite the number of times I have had to get myself and others out of various situations
oh they have thier places and uses....
if youve only got a single winch and need to pull up and out at the same time is one I cant think of...
something I've learnt about the things that need "hard yakka" They seem to be the most reliable when you need them most.
