That's why I have the winch on a mounting plate meant for a receiver hitch, move it front or rear. However, most people have their winch permanently mounted on a front bumper, so knowing how to rig the winch line properly is key. With a few snatch blocks you can winch backwards with a front mounted winch. It's not always possible, but in most areas where people are trail riding, there's usually tree's to use.In most cases a winch in the rear to pull yourself back out of what you got into can be more useful than a winch in the front that's just pulling you further into the mess.
That was kind of what I was asking about the wheel winch. Never tried it either, but was told it would tear out the suspension.Try the wheel winch... grab some rebar and nice piece of rope.. Id go in reverse with the back wheels, sounds like you may have issues with front end.. Id say use both rear wheels, otherwise youll start pulling sideways,,, Yoyu could probably anchor to another vehichle if no anchor points available.. And if you havce no idea what Im talking about, call a tow truck
Never tried it myself,, FYI
I saw a vid once that showed a guy setting up but not using a "wheel winch" it was pretty obvious it was not going to work.Try the wheel winch... grab some rebar and nice piece of rope..
