4mm scrap steel piece to make the base from found. About the right size.
Should be strong enough. The original car mounting plate you can buy from the winch seller (for €100 🖕) is thinner than that.

Collecting pieces for a tractor upgrade. This came first.
Seems to fit there ok. Need to weld a strong mount for it, the funny "lbs" stuff means it can pull about 6 tons on the first winding. Location is good but where to put the battery? It's big!
Battery hasn't arrived yet so hopefully I can figure it out by then. Not enough room under the hood, I think.

Since throwing various things under the wheels didn't work and the electric winch I ironically ordered only a few days ago hasn't arrived yet, I had to resort to plan F for Fuck.
Mjölnired a steel spike into the frozen meadow and hand-winched the tractor out. Promptly got stuck again, so over to plan G for Goddamnit. Sling around an oak on top of the hill, long steel cable + towing line + thick old rope + winch.
Winching it up the hill 3m at a time, occasionally gripping only to slip again after a few meters. Finally at the top I could drive again.
Took hours, then another hour to collect all my gear again and farm jack the steel spike out of the ground so nobody mows it in summer.
Wife has no idea what it takes to keep the living room warm 😜

Today I cut down a tree next to the house that was leaning toward the house.
Some engineering was involved.
First photo shows the start, 2nd shows the result.
The first few comments show the steps I took.

Gliders need help to get airborne.
Here's an update I pulled from an SSA (Soaring Society of America) newsletter:
"The SSA awarded several grants for projects and Bill Daniels of the White Sands Soaring Association provided an update on how grant money is advancing their winch project."
"Our thinking is shifting to power electronics, data capture and temperature management. The big battery pack which can power 40 to 50 launches on a charge is also sitting on the shop floor. The inverters are in hand. The load pins (a kind of load cell) serve as axles for the upper pulleys while measuring forces on them. They are being made on the other side of the world and should arrive in a few weeks. Various connectors and other bits arrive daily. Since everything is liquid cooled and we operate in a hot climate, we will need robust temperature management systems which are still being designed."

I came across #Searle on some #BBC television shows discussing #Wittgenstein and #Winch on #Language etc and later on some philosophy of science. Right on time for my undergraduate finals too. I've been a fan ever since (and that was a long time ago!)

UPDATE: Temporary solution. JEEP left behind. He's on his way home. Still need winch out solutions.
My boyfriend is stuck in the mud at Iron Mountain Resort in Dahlonega, GA with his son and needs a tow-out. Clearly, not your standard towing service.
If anyone knows anyone, please DM me their contact info. I'm at home and don't have the vehicle/equipment to help.
