Ummm. It looks as if its still on the ground

A 4BD1T doesn't weigh half a ton.

A lot of things you lift with a crane start out on the ground,but it finished up on a car trailer behind an 88" i'd just sold to a member

Felt like half a ton trying to winch it up with the timber bending and suspension sagging,though may have been heavier

So how does it work?
Is there another vehicle betwen the engine and the 130 with the winch?

Is there a video you could post?
I'm intrigued.

Thats not a Defender crane.

This is a Defender crane (or at least a cherry picker)



Its what my Defender started off as.
