I solved this by putting receivers front and back and battery connections front and back - just need to get myself a big anderson connector set to make it quick to plug in. I can now which in or lower out in both directions and pull other items from either end of my rig. :-) All home built, too, 40x40x4mm winch cradle insert and 50x50x5 receivers. A bit smaller than the industry standard, but very close fitting and once bolted up tight, they work as one with no slop, play, rattles, movement, wear, noise, etc. Very sweet to see it come together - zinc plated 12.9 cap screws and button head cap screws and gloss black set it off a treat :-D Interesting video, though, for those that don't have that option. :)

@@NulodPBall I can't imagine that ever happening in my use, but off road, I suppose it could. Pretty unlikely even then though. It sticks out a lot so you wouldn't ho offroading with it installed. It'd be stored in the vehicle and deployed for use as needed. Sub ideal for offroad use. If I was building a rig for serious off road use I'd have two winches permanently installed.

@@fredio54 I'm glad it works for you. And you're right, most situations - having a second option mount point is hard to beat. I just have found that you really don't find the downside to anything until you try it. Like I watched someone learn the hard way: Never let anyone hook up to your front bumper or frame, to give you an assist when trying to unstick someone...the middle person's frame would squat under pressure until something obviously broke. The stuck persons bumper was at, or below ground level in a mud field...so if he was winchable, he just would have had to use a shovel first... but I think he should have used a shovel anyway before getting a pull.

We practiced the reverse winch on our refresher recovery weekend last week. We practiced your set up on a 15 to 20 degree smooth slope, but were a little unsure when the lines seemed to be very tight but no movement. So we tried it on a flat slope and saw the results. It appears like you say the winch has to generate a lot of force to overcome a little force to move the vehicle. We then decided to see the effect of adding an extra 2 snatch blocks in the rear set up to lessen the load. This made a significant difference and the vehicle moved a lot easier. Would be interesting to see your load examples for a set up with 2 extra snatch blocks at the rear. Reason being in real life you are more likely to be on a 20 degree uneven slope which would most probably be to much for the a winch with 2 rear snatch blocks. We also did the triple line and Spanish Burton and added extra snatch blocks to reduce winch load to pull a simulated dead load vehicle. Made a huge difference. Roughly Calculated we had a winch to load of 1 to 8 with the Spanish Burton with a couple extra snatch blocks.

Thank you very much for this informative video. I literally, completely at random, had an idea 3 days ago whether something like this would be possible and youtube gods dropped this into recommended so I did not even have to search for it. I know folks can use rear winches but that requires a ton of additional money to accomplish so using what you already have to get yourself out of a situation is awesome means of geometry and physics.

Great video! But not practical in the real world. I learnt this the hard way when I really needed to winch myself backwards up a near vertical hill, realised I didn't have enough pully blocks so I ended up running my winch rope under the vehicle, it worked and got us out of a serious situation but I bent the lip of my steel bar where the rope passes out from the fairlead to under the vehicle, not surprising due the sharp change of direction. I since repaired and reinforced it with some steel tubing to make for a nice smooth angle for the rope to slide along, it works an absolute treat and makes for easy and safe reverse winch. Also saves having to carry all those extra heavy snatch blocks and gear.

I've always felt that it was a procedure that was great to know but would never really be used in anger that often. The only time I've used it was for my winching sideways video and at the time I set it up it didn't occur to me that I was actually setting up a reverse winch. Ah well we live and we learn. I want to know what tractive force can be generated by a 4wd in 4 situations. 40PSI tyre pressure on road and good gravel twin locked. Then same at 15PSI.

Step 6: Make sure you space out any solid objects that are attached to the line like x blocks, bow shackles, knots, other pulleys... anything attached to the line that could accidentally travel with the line and be forced through your pulleys when the rope moves or even just stretches. This is sometimes referred to as 2 blocking.

Wow! That is what I call confidence in your abilities. To be all alone, and purposely stick yourself on your axles, and have the knowhow to extract your vehicle from a very tough spot. I want to pull some trees down using a multiple pulley setup (Lets say using 2- 4 sheave pulley blocks, and maybe 6-8 more snatch blocks) and pulling them with a Bobcat skid steer. I have lots of trees to use as anchors, so that is not a problem. Could you give me some examples with the what the MA ratio would be, using say, the 2-4 ways and 2, or 4, or 6 snatch blocks. Just for this example, let's assume the Bobcat will exert 1000 lbs of force on the rope attached to it. Thanks sincerely, Barry

This is why, after much research and agonising, I decided not to add around 150kg worth of electric winch and compatible steel bull bar and then worry over and pay for upgraded suspension. Instead decided on a 3 tonne pull Wyeth Scott hand winch, alloy snatch ring and X-lock. Yep, all recoveries will be as 'slow as molasses' in winter but the countering benefits are: Using the hooked snatch block supplied with the WS winch and the snatch ring I can pull in any direction in excess of 10 tonnes. Total weight added to vehicle when winch and associated tackle on board is less than one fifth of electric winch and bull bar. Can use the hand winch in numerous none 4wd applications. Finally, part of what I saved by not buying an electric winch, bull bar and suspension upgrade, I spent on two pairs of M@xtr@x which I figure, when used with a shovel, will be my way out in 90% of situations anyway.

You are correct. The reason he shows lower values is because the vehicle moved. If the vehicle is fixed or stuck solid then the values would be as you show. He did not show the max pull, only the pull required to move the vehicle.

I really like these in-depth data-driven videos. Keep up the good work. I have an idea for another load cell video. I'm not sure how good of data you can get because I think you might need a fairly high logging rate for this. One thing I've always wondered about is the forces involved in using snatch straps and snatch ropes. Like the forces created at different speeds, ie. 0 kph (static pull) vs 5 kph vs 10 kph vs 15 kph. Also the force profile of different strengths and lengths of ropes and strap. As well as the difference in the force profile of the same length and similar MBS of a strap vs a rope.

Thank you Robert - another excellent video. I’m certainly keen on putting the measurement and science into recovery! I particularly appreciated that you showed us the force required to pull your car directly with the other car as a baseline for comparing the force involved in the reverse winching. Significantly more force required for reverse winching! But still a good option to have in the recovery toolbox!

We always ran the cable under the vehicle before going off roading. If you do this, then you don't need the snatch block out to the side of the car. The cable simply runs under the car.

i have a question about the total length of line. When you start the recovery you will have certain amount of line out. This would be determined by how much line it takes to reach the different anchor points and return to the vehicle. At some point you will have reduced the length of the overall line by the winch retrieving, to cause a lot of pressure. How does the amount of line going into the winch compare to how far the vehicle moves?

Fantasic detail as usual but I'm curious as to why your rear locker didn't seem to be working properly. At the 15min 14 sec mark in the vid it clearly shows the LHR wheel spinning above the ground and the caption says the rear locker makes no difference but if the rear locker was working properly wouldn't the RHR wheel have also been spinning which it wasn't.....or am I missing something??

Very interesting to see a scientific approach to the issues with figures obtained in a manner that are easily absorbed, which is very much helped by the excellent graphics and your model 4WD. This has given me a lot to think about with our truck running 5.76 Tonne as weighed a few days ago. Still learning and now having seen this clip, I have a far greater understanding of what is needed. Is it possible to contact you?
