Many years ago my cousin (spends a lot of time in the swamps) always had a truck with a PTO winch. As long as the motor runs…..you got winch. Quite often he was called in from a hunt to pull someone out.
One time someone at camp had a “hopped-up”, lifted Jeep who managed to burry it real good! Roy was called, arrived and surveyed the scene, and had someone tie onto the front of the Jeep frame. With his initial pull, it started dragging his F 250 toward the Jeep. So they chained the rear of the Ford to a tree and “gave her hell”! The Jeep finally pulled free…..well some of it did. Apparently part of the Jeep frame hung up on an unseen stump in the mud. If I remember correctly, the Jeep separated somewhere around the transmission!
I guess you can only “stretch” a Jeep so far….before something gives! 😁 memtb
