http://capstanropewinch.com/I use this style and brand for bear extraction in NC. Some of these bears are 600lbs and it works great. We have 600' of synthetic rope that is soft with a little stretch. One person stays with the machine keeping tension on the rope while the other people guide the animal out of the woods. I would say the speed over flat ground is a walking pace. Probably have $1100 in the thing but its worth it pulling large critters long distances from remote areas. A handheld radio also helps coordinate the pulls.
