Stuck, really stuck

You are correct about the amount of cable/rope on the drum as per the strength.
I took the 150' 5/16" cable off of my MileMarker 10K {hydraulic off of the Power Steering Pump} and replaced it with 200' of same.

You must be a very patient man. Not many winches are slower than a MileMarker.

I'm a huge fan of the Warn 8274, largely because of their 52 to 79 feet per minute line speeds under no load.

You mean like this?

Yeah, something like that.

The crane on my M936 only has two sheaves at the hook, but every one helps.

I have a 12 ton comalong, similar to the one Magna sells

That’s cool only limited by length of the chain and the stamina of one’s arm.

Personally I like the old Braden and Tulsa units.

That is so, so very true!
Before I got a large tractor with 4wd, I would get my JD2555 2wd stuck, and call my Bride to come get me and help me tote as many chains and that heavy comalong out to where I got stuck. She really hated it, and was all on board with me spending the money to buy a 4wd tractor. (M7040) I have spent many hours running that comalong, and while it will move about anything, it does it very slowly!

I can hardly wait until somebody brings up using two snatch blocks. Or three.

The amount of confusion about using just a single one is amazing.

If recovering an imported vehicle, can you use an SAE snatch block or will metric be required?

When I worked on a whitewater rescue team, we'd do several carabiners to give us 6:1 mechanical advantage to pull boats off of obstacles. Water pressure is amazing.

First you have to find the little plug on the bumper, remove it, and screw in the towing hook.

And then watch it break.
