Afternoon all!
I think I need a land anchor, question is what type would best for me. My playground is on or around:
Devizes Roundway, Cherly whitehorse, Avebury and of course Sailsbury Plain. So the ground is mostly Glay & Chaulk (& Very Boggy & Muddy).:D
So Should I go for a "Plough" or"Pin and Plate type.
Please Help Me with this one as I cant afford to wast money on this.
Cheers
Vince

True enough but you're up to some serious stuff if a straight pull backwards doesn't help.

Did consider one myself because I'm off-road alone a fair bit but its mostly in the woods and they come conveniently adorned with plenty of ground anchors :D.........apart from that one time dragging a trailer load of wood across a heavy clay field :doh:

15 mins with a bowsaw, billhook and a forked oak branch and I had me a free anchor that was up to the job :cool:

Not saying they aren't useful..........just expensive for the amount of times that they're likely to be the only option
 
ive got one of the pin and plate ones from a pinzgauer which is pretty good, just a pain in the arse to smash the 8 pegs in though

mine cost me £40 brand new inc post:p
 
Yep I might get a Mig and go to Night School to learn me how to use it.
I was going to get some local engineering fabrication firm to make one up.
I have put a modist bid in, on that link you sent but I cant afford £160 for one.
I have been told the Army use the plate and pin type to move anything that they get stuck
