tirfor question

chris_mack said:

Hi all,

what size tirfor should I get for general 4x4 recovery. Eg would this Tirfor TU-16 Hand Winch With Handle & Cable - eBay 4x4 Accessories, Exterior, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 21-Aug-10 20:30:40 AEST) be sufficient.

It says 2.5T pull but what that pull a stuck range rover out of a bog?

suppose there had to come a day when I agreed with BoB on something other than burnin but as above, always carry a tirfor, I once pulled an 8 ton scimitar out of a wallow with a 2ton tirfor on my own, no fun at all but better than being the donkey for a week
