wow. thats very educational. I didn't think or consider using a Pull pal for self recovery. I've always thought about the old school using the spare tire, and the like parachute product where you put a lot of dirt in it as anchor. But a Pull Pal is a simple and very effective tool! Thank you!
@@matt.mckinzie definitely great recovery tool. Unfortunately it's not available here in the Philippines. I thought this is generally plowing for farm product, but I noticed when I checked the product page, it's really for recovery 🤣
I’ve often looked at these because I’m in the plains states and out in pastures it’s hard to find stuff to anchor too. Sometimes a t post driven in deep is enough but other times when it’s soupy it ain’t. Plus they are a pain to pull out.
Just curious is the green accessory lights that you run state/ govt ordinance needed? (talking the ones turned on at 3:31) or is that just the color temperature and how the camera picks it up? but great work, and keep on showing proper techniques! hopefully this converts some of the "free" tow guys into responsibly recovering people by explaining how its dangerous and stupid what they are doing.
They are green, we chose green lights because we do a lot of night recovery work. It sucks for video purposes but to actually work in, the green lights are amazing. Why? Because green lights do not affect your night vision like white/yellow lights
I left a very small chain attached to mine and put a eye bolt on a 4’ piece of 2x4. It also doubles as my upright T post. Upside down deal. Cut a v in both ends and just taped it with good tape so it don’t split. So anchor lever and lifting winch lever.
Would this anchor work with a hand winch? Do you need another person to hold it for alignment while winching? Or one person can do the job (solo recovery)? Nice tutorial thanks.
Yes The holding part Depends We have had it go straight in no issues and other times we had to hold it up We found that digging a hole and placing the spade in helped tremendously when using solo so it’s already in the ground and doesn’t need to dig in
could I use this with a lock chain to pull a JD 35g mini ex out of the mud? I keep sliding in holes and sometimes there isn't a tree close enough to pull myself out?
It works best in soft ground, I’ve had to use it in harder ground before and it sucked. Sorta It holds better and works for pulling better in hard ground But much harder to get it to bite in I’ve had to dig a hole then set the spade in the hole But In hard ground you might only need half the spade In the ground to get out Where in sand the entire spade is 14” under the ground before it starts to hold
Ppl would be amazed at what a little 25lb fluke anchor will do too with a couple pieces of 4x4 in a upside down T. Cut the extra pin off the sides first… it’ll pull out an f150. Over and over and over and…
Is all the metal hollow that goes between the line and the spade? How thick are the walls of the tubing if hollow? Could you please give measurements of all pieces on a video? Thanks for helping folks get vehicle unstuck. I'm in Umatilla Fl. Half way between Ocala and Orlando.

Your welcome
We usually get the opposite comment
They think it’s only good for self recovery
Not useful for doing a recovery

Rory carries a Pull Pal on Trailmater. Great minds think alike.

I can imagine
Just bought one! Thanks for the video man it certainly helps!
Personally my All-Tie anchor for frozen snow covered ground and Deadman sheet.

I reckon that using it in soupy mud you would need the chain attachment to yard it out, seeing how far it would have to dig itself to work for you?
Possibly, maybe I should test that

Good tool there for sure. but did you know could have done that faster using rinaChina 1" ratchet straps :D
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That would go in a few inches on my field then pop out. Way to many rocks.

Basically the same as a boat anchor.
What brand anchor is that. Do you have a website where to look for this one?
It’s made by pull pal

Their website looks to be down but here is their link on Amazon
My next build 👍
💪💪💪
Is all the metal hollow that goes between the line and the spade?
How thick are the walls of the tubing if hollow?
Could you please give measurements of all pieces on a video?
