    Turfor winch size

    yes i realize that a full height tree is best for leverage. but due to the construction of the tree it was not possible, it was not a solid single trunk it was 8 separate ones, the 2m mark is where the stems start to split. i shall try the four ton and will see, i dont own a dirty set of parts...
