When securing a machine onto the back of a lorry the best way to apply the straps is to always cross them. So if the machine is facing the same direction as the lorry you put a strap from the right hand front corner of the machine to the left hand side of the lorry, and so on with al the other straps.. When securing this way the machine is being forced downward in the same time that it is blocked from moving sideways. This set aside you just as always produced a heck of a video. The 18 Ton winch is a marvel. Hope you will have lots of jobs for it.
Genuine question. Should the chassis can not have been loaded cab first to put the weight more in the middle of the bed instead of hanging off the back?
I rekon to pull anything more than a small car, if it has sunk remotely then you will need bigger spades on the winch and possibly make the spade plate bigger than the skidsteer. I have a fair bit of winching experience using a full size 100hp tractor and 8 ton forestry winch and the tractor weighing 6 tons will slide back quite easily before the spades dig when the winch is pulling to the limits. The spade is farr more substantial and more angled on the winch. The principle is good, but i rekon you will need to adapt it.
I like the weekly vids Greg. Shout out to will. Why did you not drive the winch to the transit pull 3 or 4 foot out hook on and reverse to the winching position. Carnt wait for next week's dvsa job😂
You should get a mounting point on the back of the winchx so you can anchor it to another vehicle or tree to ge the full use of that winch in a bigger recovery
Hey Greg! Just wanted to say loving the weekly episodes and that your videographer/ editor are absolutely nailing the vids, as I often can’t be bothered with long videos but really enjoying these ones!!
Another great video bet you wished you had Winch X when moving forklift stuck in that garden , also do you have CA11 DMO reg plate in intro videos in office is it real ?
Genuine question. Should the chassis can not have been loaded cab first to put the weight more in the middle of the bed instead of hanging off the back? Stick with the more modern looking vehicles not the old Laylands 😢 Think the X has a lot of potential but the guard needs beefing up. Loving the new “weekly” episodes.
Hi, I've been watching your channel for quite a while and I didn't realise that you're from Stafford. I was born in Stafford in a place called Littleworth. I moved away in 1992.
Been watching your channel for quite some time and can say that Will has been a great improvement to the way it is presented, except for the distracting intrusion that keeps popping up in the bottom corner. This is something the americans started (and should have kept) but many have stopped doing because they even find it boring. The winch-X is a really neat bit of kit, maybe the ground anchor could be improved if it sat at an angle, similar to the old AEC Matador timber tractors, time will tell, but that is the beauty of developing things yourself, things can only get better. On a slightly different note. Do you know where your catch phrase "OK lets go" originates? Apparantly after the D-Day landings were postponed because of poor weather. When the weather cleared Eisenhower gave the order "OK Lets go". History lesson over. Keep up the excellent content.
I personally liked the old video formats, since new camera person to many small edits and stuff and camera man should talk as well can be ABIT annoying hearing a small giggle but glad to hear them talking in this video and showing face would be good as well 😊
Leave the sleeper pod on mate, it's ideal to grab a couple of hours in while you're waiting for a lane closure.
I burst out laughing at this one 😂
@@steve5772 very true 😅
Damian's done a cracking job on the Winch X 👍👍👍
One hell of a job, its been slightly revised since this video too! So even more aggressive now!

Frame looks like it needs defence from Winch snappage
Already been addressed with some revisions, good spot though! GDB
Bloody Awesome video Greg Bring on Next Week
Nice addition, just 1 thing to mention, doing un needed turns on tarmac won’t be good for the rubber tracks. But nice machine.
I love the new styles of videos and editing there much better
