- Why should I pay someone else to screw it up when I can screw it up myself for free?
I'm not familiar at all with winches and needed capacities. I have to 'roll' a disabled Toyota Highlander from a spot where it can't be pushed due to soft clay. I would need to use a snatch block off of a large pine to get it moving because of limited straight line access. Once on the gravel we'll load it on a flatbed. All the tires are aired up so dragging it shouldn't an issue. The Highlander doesn't run so it will be just dead rolling weight. Do you think a cheaper HF Badlands 2500# winch be adequate on a rear receiver type mount? I would probably use the winch infrequently for other things in Oregon and have no need for pulling other people out of mud pits, etc. I know the safety aspects for preventing a snapped cable. Thanks
