tirfor question

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?

tirfors do have their place and i ike useing them to pull trees as there very controlled.They are hard work but mechanical so allways work....get a fookin big 5000kg tirfor and yor in .its also handy as an anchor to chuck out on the motorway when there is all stop...

genuine tirfors only go to 3.2t. like to use em myself but i was brought up using the bastids for steelwork and mooring, as bob says they have great control but not much fun knee deep in ****e when your freezing

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
