    In a word, no.. It would be very slow (approx 1/2" for every lever swing...). This isn't a Dawn Winch, but it might do your job.....

    That's a cool pic and a great advert for Tirfor. I bought an unused one with new 20 metre cable off Gumtree just last weekend for $120. Just missing the handle! Nothing a metre of gal water pipe won't fix.

    Or, a good quality alternative, not a Chinese thing made out of recycled Toyota's .
    I have a brand new one - as in never used but about 25 years old, someone stole the cable and handle but left the winch - you can have it if you can collect it

    Doesn't work that way, it'll just allow you to get further in - before you become bogged

    Appreciate the offer, but since i am in PNG, i think logistically it would cause a lot of grief, trying to get it and the other bits to one place , sure there is someone out there who would appreciate it.

    cheers

    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
