The Bush Winch in Action
Self Recovery Made Simple
Bush Winch test with Allan Whiting November 2015
The Bush Winch is a light weight self-recovery system for 4WDs and 2WDs. When needed the Bush Winch is simply connected to the front or rear wheels of your vehicle as you chose. With the winch rope attached to the Bush Winch at one end and the anchor point at the other the winch rope winds onto the Bush Winch as the wheel spins.
GET YOUR CAR OUT OF A TRICKY SITUATION
It doesn’t work like a normal winch. You attach the winch directly to the wheel itself. The rope can then be anchored elsewhere. Such as a tree. Various anchor attachments can be used based on the situation. It’s ideal for getting out of loose gravel or snow. It’s safer than a traditional winch system since no heavy cables are used.
