Hi Redtape,

I am only a newbie on here but a couple of years ago I purchased a Honda engined capstan winch and fabricated a plate that mounts on to the front rack.

This winch can be removed by taking the R clip from the winch bolt and then fitting a strop to the winch to attach round boulders, trees, stumps or a ground anchor.

I will try to find a picture of the winch on the bike.

Cheers

Hi All,
Rodp, yes indeed I use the quad sticks as they are the best thing since sliced bread.
I use the winch primarily for extracting deer from some of the difficult parts I hunt in and also it is handy when you get the bike bogged as the electric winches are nearly always under water/moss/peat/ mud and difficult to get the cable/ rope out of.

Jay10 I will take more pictures of the way the winch is mounted to the rack this week some time and post them on here.

Thanks

Hi Mrbb,
The winch is primarily mounted on the rack to carry it around the forest, but if I happened to get bogged or stuck I weigh up the situation and either leave it on if it is just needing to take a little bit of strain on the bike to free it and if it is well and truly to the "Headlights" I would remove it and attach the strop to something substantial and haul it out.

It is a T8 and the rifle is a Browning A Bolt .270 I mainly use 130g bullets, getting the Moderator in this country is a straight forward affair, more I suspect with noise disturbance and deafening oneself.

Cheers
