I remember trying to cross a creek once with my friend on his dirtbike. I sank into clay up to my skitplate. Winch wouldn’t reach a tree or anything. So, I took a large yellow rachet strap I had and looped it around a tree, and then hooked my winch to the other hook on the closer end of the rachet strap. Winched it little buddy little, 4-5ft at a time, and soon enough I was able to actually hook the winch cable itself into the tree and pull myself out 😂

@growgang_lc1978 Год назад

In total, I think my winch extends maybe 10-15ft. The nearest tree was easily 20-23ft away. Over half the distance I winched was supported by a rachet strap

its always helful to hsve extrs stuff. Never know when you'll need it!

@RicardoGonzalez-lp6fe Год назад

Can you make a video on how to change from the metal winch it comes with to the rope like yours

@ADVENTURESThisWay Год назад

check out this video from Mud Puppy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UJn57H7TCHI.html

@nseric1233 Год назад

I have a couple more tips. 1. Hook the winch hook to something on the top of the rack. I have a bungee cord tied up to the top of the rack and hook to it so it has some give. The winch hook will freeze to the fairlead in the winter and if you're stuck up against a deep rut you wont be able to get a hold of the hook. 2. Get a 25 foot tow strap and use it to tow your buddies out not the winch, it's quicker and easier, I use it way more than I use the winch.

@ADVENTURESThisWay Год назад

Yes there lots of other tips I may cover in another video. Winter and cold temperatures add more challenges. Kinetic rope works better than a tow strap. The challenge with pulling another ATV out is a solid point to attach sometimes. I've seen bumpers ripped off.

@EC_ATV_Outdoors Год назад

When you say strap though, you must advise to pull with the strap tight. Do go getting a head start. Better than a strap, a kinetic rope. They are designed for getting a headstart and pull after pull you'll get much better results. Plus, they tend to fit nicer than a strap in our limited space.

@nseric1233 Год назад

@@EC_ATV_Outdoors You're right about going easy, I forgot that part. I have a cheap 2 or 3 ton tow strap, it rolls up into a pretty small ball, you dont need big gear for atv's.

@EC_ATV_Outdoors Год назад

@@nseric1233 yeah, I find the part where the stichimg is is tough to roll. So I hold it with some velcro tape.

@Adutchmaningermany Год назад

Thanks man! Just changed my steel cable for a synthetic yesterday. Do you have tips (beside praying 😂) when you get high centrered in deep snow and there’s no trees and no buddies out there?

@ADVENTURESThisWay Год назад

Well first thing, walk the hole first to get an idea how deep it is. Next thing is get off the ATV and see if you can move it. Just removing body weight helps, sometimes

@andrewmccullum4472 Год назад

If you plan to play in deep snow, goto Canadian tire and get yourself a collapsible snow shovel, it's a life saver If you are ever out on your own in deep snow

@Adutchmaningermany Год назад

@@andrewmccullum4472 thanks. But I am in germany. They don’t have that stuff here. I’ve looked on Amazon but no luck.

Nothing feels as good as a frayed piece of steel winch cable being jammed into your finger! 🤣🤣

@ADVENTURESThisWay Год назад

Only thing better is if you do it twice!

@danfisher7856 9 месяцев назад

I have winched out more people than I can count who broke their synthetic rope with my steal cable winch.

@ADVENTURESThisWay 9 месяцев назад

cool, been the opposite in my experience. But there is something to be said for making a recovery properly for the situation, regardless of the winch line material. And both still need to be be maintained in good working order.

@danfisher7856 9 месяцев назад

@@ADVENTURESThisWay I gave synthetic rope a soild consideration when purchasing my last couple of winches. While steel cable have served me well, I was willing to get with the modern times. However real world experience has led me to stick with steel cables.

@concealit4800 Год назад

Idk what Polaris ur referring to lmao I never saw a winch wired to 4x4 u must have had a backyard mechanic set that up

@ADVENTURESThisWay Год назад

On a Polaris 570 2up the AWD and winch power on the same circuit. Winch was jammed and it blew fuse and took out power to front differential. Didn't bother looking for a blown fuse at first, until I became obvious I couldn't pull the other ATV out with no 4x4. True story.
