I looked and seen my 1994 2wd ford rangers 3k pounds bascially, after reading online about snatch blocks doubling your pulling capacity and seeing harbor freight selling a 3000 pound winch for 70$ in reality could i get away with pulling myself if i was stuck with a snatch block being it should be a 6k pound pull with the block on or would that burn that little thing up real fast?
also for anyone that knows about snatch blocks, if i used more than one does it just keep doubling it (example 3000 winch with one block is 6000 2 blocks is 9 exc exc)
to put that in more depth, (example) my 2wd trucks buried and i have a full size truck 20 feet on hard packed (yes i could be snatched out) but if i put 2 snatch blocks on his truck and one on mine, if i looped it threw and ran it back to my truck would i have 9000 pounds of pulling force geared down on a 3000 pound winch and if so how effective is that?
