Had a good day in the woods, I was getting ready to winch down some Cherry. Hope to get back in this area Thursday to winch down some more cherry to the left of the rhino down the hill.

How big is your winch?

Warn 3000 lb.

Warn makes a good winch. I have an older 2500# that's been pretty tough. Before that I wrecked 3 Superwinches. Just couldn't get them to last.

I don't use the winch much anymore. It used to be mounted on the front of my Sportsman, but wouldn't fit on my Hawkeye after I traded the Sportsman in. I made my own removable rear-mount for the receiver hitch on the back of my Hawkeye, so I can still use my Warn if I need to.

Thats what I like about the Rhino, the winch can be used from the front our the back.

Oh? So it has a receiver-type mount for the winch on both the front and the back then? Cool. Maybe I'll have to make one for the front of my Hawkeye someday. Being mounted on the back, I can't use it when I'm pulling the trailer.

Yep, I guess the big thing is the electrical hook up. I needed it last year coming out of the woods after dragging the trail then cutting some wood, I was coming out to the road and I sunk (sun softened it) dug out the winch in the front and put it on the back then hooked up the tree saver around a tree with a d-shackle and pulled the rhino out.

Nice! That's the thing about a winch; you don't always need one, but when you do, you REALLY need one.

I was on an old logging road that I've been on every year. A little too much rain this year and a bog formed. Add a layer of ice over the top of it and fresh snow to make it look like normal and Wal Ah!!! The perfect trap.
