BAUMHALTEPLATTE / MASTHALTERUNG

Have not used it but quality is there

I bought this anchor system. Love it!!!! Light weight, easy to install, has side by side swing for more pulling angles. I use this more than just the straps. Prevents the winch from tipping, dropping or other unwanted winch movement. A must have tool.

The tree anchor is an improvement over anchoring to trees with a webbing strap. It's better to have the winch up off the ground a bit, allowing for easier operation, and it keeps the winch from bouncing around so much (which has to be better for the unit).

I have also used the trailer hitch mount, which is also an improvement over the webbing strap. If there is a tree to anchor to, I'll use the tree mount, and use the trailer hitch anchor otherwise.

I use the winch for logging on my own property and have been a satisfied owner for 10 years now.

Ratchet teeth wear out from taking the load. Set up occasionally requires you to prop up the machine to avoid shutting off from being out of level. Basically need to wedge the machine up if you are winching up hill and it will do a number on your ratchet teeth.
