General questions and answers about
winches
The majority of winches are sold without any accessories,
however you may find
some distributors that will make a deal that could include things such
as remote
cable control and fairlead hawser. When purchasing a winch you will also
need
the mounting kit designed for your vechicle. It is strongly recommended
that you
purchase the manufacturers mounting kit since it will have been designed
to work
specifically with your equipment and will include the necessary safety
features.
Even though your winch will now work, you will be limited to straight
line pulls
between two vehicles. If you were to add the following items it will
greatly increase
your winch's usefulness:
1. Tree saver strap (wrapping a cable directly around a tree will damage
the tree
and will kink your cable)
2. Some clevis pins
3. Snatch blocks
4. A choke chain
5. Thick leather gloves
