I pulled this Kubota out of a pond that he backed into by mistake with my WARN 8274 with block for double pull power....I could barely get him out, dragging my F350 7.3 4x4 till it popped him out...found the limit of my winch...;)
Yes, you will pull/drag your cruiser when winching something a lot heavier than you especially if you use a block and double your pull power....strap off to something behind you like a tree or another rig.....dont get a 9K
I just use a block on a stationary object like a tree with trunk...
