Hi guys chasing a second hand 2.5 ton or heavier hand winch - using it to recover a TJ Jeep. I know there are better ways to do it but the dollars are not stretching that far.
Hopefully some one in the Melb has one for sale as they are heavy buggers to post lol.

I thought about selling mine till about 2 weeks ago, I bought it 2.5yrs
ago and it was still in the box till very recently.
It got me out of a slippery spot so sorry its not for sale:-)

Pop into Supercheap and buy a $199 boat winch, lots of extra cable and a snatch block or two.  As long as your going t0 snatch anything will pull you out, hell done right a mouse on a wheel will pull you out given enough blocks and rope.

I never said it would be a fast recovery, it may rust out before the mouse
dies of exhaustion!

lol, the real problem with that system is getting enough anchor points
for all the pulleys and then remembering how to thread them up.
