I was being an idiot again, and i got stuck with no one to pull me out backwards, so i tried winching backwards with pulleys. Too see if it actually works, or is it just a story people tell when their drunk.
This is how i rigged up my winch rope;
I didn't want to break anything, so i took the weight with the PTO winch and then cained it in reverse, and moved back a few hundred mm's.
I did this a few times, got a lot of tension on the winch and drove backwards. I got about a meter and the strop around the fence post snapped. I thought, well its an old strop and i had chocked it around the post, which is half as strong as if i had looped it.
So i tried again with a better strop looped around the post, i got a bit further, but the new strop snapped and this time the pulley and winch hook smashed into the back of my truck and made a huge smashing noise, And ripped my winch dampener
