When it's doubled to 12k lb it's more than enough for me. |
The problem with this theroy is that you need more cable out to use a snatch block. The more cable out the less there is on the drum and as such the rated pulling power of the whinch drops

I've recovered a Full Size Cherokee from "mud" with a Tirfor. Same size Jeep from a creek bed with a Tirfor when the 8000lb Warn decided to run a battery out. |
Damn hard work though [img]graemlins/moon.gif[/img]
The good thing about a tirfor is the sheer pin so if you do overload it has a fuse to protect the winch, you dont have this advanatge with an electric winch and if you over load it then the first thing that you know about it being overlaoded is the smoke [img]graemlins/punchface.gif[/img]
