Portable Winch was created by Soeley

Finally decided on which portable winch to get, can be used on front or rear recovery points.

Which winch did you get? That looks like a pretty long chain.
I have a set of assorted shortish ropes that I use with my hand winch. It has a fairly short chain so I may need to change the ropes around a few times but it's a lot lighter than a huge length of chain.

+1 for which winch?

I looked at some smallish winches and a Bak Rak tow bar mount and plate about a year ago, but didn’t go for it in the end. The plate and Bak Rak mounts on the tow bar or you can shackle the plate with a strop to a tree for use on the front.

I put together a system with a 4,500lb winch on a Bak Rak, and have front and rear towbars (front is detachable). This is quite a good system, mainly because it lives safely stored in a dry shed most of the time. For the few times I have used it, a chain winch like this would have done the job and is a fraction of the cost.
