Morning All,
Just sitting having the morning coffee on the deck and noticed the neighbour outside getting ready to chop more wood. He hooked up a large log to the winch and was winching it to the cutting area.
I watched as the log caught against another log on the ground (note these logs are about 12 feet long and 2 feet thick of good hardwood) so what does he do?
Back it off you say and try move the other log - Nope
He drives the car forward about a meter or so, revs it up and yup you guessed it he used a nice winch with steel cable as a snatch strap! 3 time he did it before he gave up.
All the time I am thinking I am going to hear the crack of steel or the guts of a winch come crunching out.
Yup nothing could go wrong here!
