DO NOT use a winch like this!

How do custom off-road buggies pull themselves out of the mud without an electric winch?! 🚀⚙️
If you are building a custom rock crawler or mud truck, a standard electric winch can quickly overheat and completely drain your battery when you need it most! Instead of relying on electrical power, true professional fabricators build custom PTO (Power Take-Off) winches!
In this incredible engineering video, a builder has connected a massive winch spool directly into the transmission and drivetrain of their tube-chassis buggy! By tying the winch directly to the gears, the spool harnesses the raw mechanical horsepower and torque of the actual engine! As long as the motor is running and there is gas in the tank, this mechanical winch will never stop pulling! Huge respect to the fabricators keeping old-school mechanical engineering alive!
