Hand Winching a 4WD - Quad line pull using a snatch block - More Power Puller Wyeth Scott

This video is produced by Hand Winch NZ/AU (www.handwinch.... ).
It shows a More Power Puller from Wyeth Scott (capable of pulling up to 5.4 metric tonnes) hand winching a 4WD ute with the handbrake on, up a 15-25 degree slope. Both a double and quadruple line pull are demonstrated, using snatch blocks, extension ropes and tree anchors.

Hi, check what knots you are permitted to put into dynema. Cheers Pete.

what piece of equipment did you use to take up the slack of the extra rope you had. i see about 2:30 into the video that you have a long rope with extra length lying slack on the ground. it appears you're suing some kind of device to tie off to the truck so the extra slack is taken out. what is that?

Hi John. This is simply a bowline knot tied off at the appropriate length to the vehicle. This is then looped through to a trailer hitch receiver with rated bow shackle, rather than tying off the towball. Bowlines with 10 mm rope like this dont slip, so once the slack is taken up it takes the weight.

​@@handwinchnewzealand1801 I've never seen a bowline slip on any rope between 10mm and 22mm. That's without a Yosemite finish. I learned to climb on a bowline on 13mm rope. It's one of the best knots ever, 👍🪓🌲🇮🇪

How hard is it to undo the bowline after winching

[@handwinchnewzealand1801]

Hi Luke, it's 10mm thick rope which helps, I could do it with my hands with a bit of wiggling, but with a leatherman/pliers was immediate.
