    Wow that would be awesome on a GQ best winch even better than 4278 if thats right number,
    as long as motor running you can winch all day long, Definitely worth fitting,IMO Big fan of PTOs

    As I said earlier I have a PTO winch and love it. You can haul stuff all day long. You don't need a lot of rev for them to work well in fact less is far better as they have a shear pin in the drive line. I don't go above 1500rpm for that reason when winching and if it stalls the motor I just chuck a snatch block on haven't found anything I cant move yet. I haul logs out of the bush for firewood and find that as long as I chain my Safari to a large living tree it can move anything

    I'm sure we have all had that red faced moment when in desperation we have hooked on to that slightly dead looking tree and either had the winch rope cut it down or pulled it over or is just me?
    Our beach trees over here rot from the inside out so sometimes it can get interesting

    Have had a premier 9000 for about ten years. Is reliable, has never stopped but is slow. I generally use a block on my patrol.

    @ Tank up Tallarook with Mate only way to get him back on track was to skull drag him 90 degrees,
    lots of straps no pulley block and 30 mtrs of cable eye on each end. cable around nice sturdy tree.
    easy as you do , another 10 ft and tree would have been cut in half, but sometimes you need to make exceptions.
    not much else was possible that day. For those that know the area it was the rocky track up the back way to warrigul rocks lookout
    been close for years now but a great track.
