We were thinking that our frames are so over engineered that we could use our winches for other applictions other than leisure. So we have come up with this useful winch.
The SlowTow has a maximum speed of under 4 mph.
Some uses for this winch;
Forrestry- towing logs, tree stumps etc
Mud rescue - pulling things that are stuck in mud
general towing on flat ground - moving skid units etc
Slow incredibly powerful pulling power.
Long winch line, over 200m
Low ground pressure and small for limited access
The winch comes with ;
Transport kit (removable wheels and handle)
6.5 hp petrol engine
2:1 wet clutch reduction box
Dyneema winch line and shackle
2T lifting strap for tethering winch
Winch can be bolted down, there are holes pre drilled in the frame
Throttle on the engine
Pull start with kill switch
True free spooling system - no effort whatsoever to take the line out
You can also use a pulley on the pulled end for half speed and double power.
