[00:00:01]There's the winch on the transit van. So, it's 13 and 1/2 thousand pounds.

[00:00:08]6 ton. Yeah, that's a good one, isn't it? That's a wee winch compared to the winches on the trucks. But, actually, >> [laughter] >> I've bought another one.

[00:00:18]My mate was saying that this is actually seems about to happen. That needs modified, that winch, cuz it's no it's no right for me for the things that I'm doing with, obviously. I I'll be using that we bit more than other people would. So, that needs altered. But, that will get altered and the new winches in this is actually much better. Might get dropped down a line in the side of it and I have to keep it low down cuz it's going to end the road. And so, that will get dealt with. But, I had a 6-ton winch in there before. It's nice going and it doubles up to 12 ton. So, with three snatch blocks and that triples the power of the winch, but obviously slows it down. Right.

[00:00:55]Okay. Right. But, you can't I don't think you'll go any more than three. I don't think you benefit with it. But, number four, you should use one, two at the most. So, one doubles the power, but halves the speed, obviously. And but, you don't want speed or anything.

[00:01:09]You want power.

[00:01:10]So, just like that. Probably had that easy power. Easy power, yeah.

[00:01:15]>> [laughter] >> Very good.
