Question about CMP winch?

[hrpearce]

Hi Phil,
I don't know the rated pull of the winch but when I got my blitz it was set up for log snigging. It's got a heavy 4" box section welded across the back of the chassis to back it up to a tree to ancre it. My Father in law said that if you used scotches and a log snaged the U bolts holding the axle on snaped.
The winch on mine was mounted above the chassis and geared down 2 to 1and even having double the engine power going to the winch the engine stalled before you reached the capasity of bolts or keys.
