A hand winch rated at 1000Kgs will shift most things if you can find a place to anchor it to.
This is true Keith, a 1000Kg pull is a fair tug in anyones language.

Right, who's got a spare winch ? Any takers for donating there range rover lol
We'll try it out ! Lol
Nah nah na nah nah

Told ya it worked!
can you push one on level tarmac ,in neutral, with proper inflated tyres? If you can't then you is a whimp It takes less than 200lbs of force to do that.Only that car is probably half the weight of a range rover !

Don't bother then, just wait for the tow truck.![]()
Four wheel drive helps off road, no car needs it on road, snow or not, a 2WD car on the right tyres will go anywhere a 4x4 can go just as well. In the "old" days standard tyres were all-season tyres - now cars are sold with summer tyres which are useless in the snow - there's where most of the problems lie. Of course in really deep snow ground-clearance becomes an issue - but how often will that be an issue in the UK?
On summer tyres a Rangie will be more of a liability than Mr average's Ford Focus as you've got a lot of weight to stop and steer. ATs or winter tyres are a must in snowy conditions.
Nonsense. Is that when people used to fit town and country tyres to the arse end in winter. And still got stuck. The premis that a two wheel drive car with correct tyres will go where a 4x4 can is ridiculous.

On road, as I quite clearly pointed out - I drive 20-30K miles per year, have never been stuck in any car (despite my handle!) - I always fit all-season tyres - for example, I towed an AWD Audi on summer tyres out of trouble last year in a front wheel drive saloon fitted with all-seasons. Winter tyres would be even better (and better than a 4x4 on ATs.)

Ok
So your saying a saloon car with winter tyres on is better than a 4 x 4 with all terrains on? In the bad weather?
I dont want to be rude here, but as my name says.
" Thats Bollocks"
Yes a saloon car with front wheel drive and winters tyres on will get you up a few snowy roads but no way on earth will it go places that a 4 x 4 with all terrains on does!
Sorry mate
Best get yourself to your doctors and get ya head checked out
Lol
No offence meant
