I'm going to test the pulling capabilities of my B2PW and its winch to extract a Ford A-64 Wheel Loader that got it's right side stuck in soft ground. The plan is to anchor the PW to 2 trees as low as possible and using cable and chain to hook to the pintle hitch, then using 2 blocks, set up a 3 to 1 reduction on the 7/16 winch cable. We should have 24,000lbs of pull. I'll have pics of the operation to post if sucessfull. Anybody tried this extreme of a load before and what results did you have?
