Put a back 2500 lb winch on rear, way easier on machine to winch someone stuck using forward gears, and if you do get stuck I find winching backwards out the way you came in is easier and better



Plus I have tied myself to a tree with rear winch and used front winch to pull, works great

Winchs are not made for towing . If using for towing I would use tow strap or one of these .
Tools ??? Right tool for the task at hand .

Tow strap is cheaper ...
but that said , if you want to break chit tow some one out of a mud hole ...
Better to let the winch do the work , what it is designed for.
Poor axles / belts / clutches and if you run a poo , the reverse chain don't like that much .
The tiger tail is handy , but makes it that much more convenient to not use your winch ..imo

Biggest waste of $ i've ever seen. How lazy are you to pull out a tow strap. When they get caked with mud the rope deteriorates combined with the sun. Better off mounting rear winch if you want to spend that kind of money.
