Winch

That is why they haven’t failed!
Used my Ironman once, to rescue a mate, spooled it occasionally, went to use it the other day to pull up a windmill, dead as a dodo.

Shouldnt give up the ghost that easy. Maybe dirty contacts or something?

Not as bad as what we had last year. We had to winch a v8 single cab up a greasy hill and the only tree worth winching off was some distance away but we had a crack at it. We rolled the cable out and were 1m off the tree and the cable just fell off the drum... the lug on the end wasny even screwed onto the drum!!!
