    Hehehehe

    But only if said tank was recovered in a direct line with the winch
    Any off axis pull WOULD result in certain death

    I remember talking to an old farmer, he had a big red gum blocking a creek and it was causing damage. Not having anything big enough to pull it out or a saw that would handle it he got out a little 2hp Roseberry hit and miss rigged up pullies and wire rope every where and set it going. It took about 10 days to pull that tree out but it did. Every day he would go down and re rig everything.
    Please don’t ask how he had it rigged or how many pullies he had cause I don’t know

    I was surprised at how many winch-equipped "experts" in the club had no idea about what could be achieved with a snatch block or two, or how to rig anything other than a straight pull.

    You never know when one might be called to appear on Wheel of Fortune, Hard Quiz or even Mastermind & be asked any one of those subjects. Acceptance speech could start by saying "I owe my success to all my friends from AULRO yada yada yada"

    Best book and info i have read on winches and how to use them including side pulls etc is the Four Wheel Drive Handbook by Robert Pepper. It is a great book with heaps of info.
    Yes you can easily overload winches and gear using snatch blocks. You also can reduce a lot of the puuling load of stuck vehicles many times by using a shovel and brains .

    From what little I've seen of that, brains are not normally in gear at those times when everyone is suddenly an expert & trying to get in on the act to show their mates just how ****ing great they are.
