The Bush Winch is a wheel mounted winch which is carried as a pair (one for each side of the vehicle) in a kit bag for use when needed. The winches slot onto especially designed wheel nuts. These wheel nuts replace the manufactures wheel nuts and can be left on permanently so that the Bush Winch can be attached at any time. A simple push and twist action, without the need for any additional tools, is all that is required to attach and detach the Bush Winch.

A 4WD in a bog or on a slippery surface can use the front or back wheels as chosen. The winch ropes are taken from the winches to anchor points in front or behind the vehicle depending on whether you want to winch forwards or backwards. In a 2WD the winches are obviously just put on the drive wheels although you can still decide to winch forward or backwards. You engage forward or reverse gear depending on which way you want to go and the winch rope winds onto the winch drum forcing the vehicle along.

Because the vehicle engine is providing the power the vehicle recovery process is easily and safely controlled by the driver including stopping and starting at any stage. The power available from the engine is considerable so low engine speed is all that is necessary and winching can be continued for as long as needed.

The winch ropes supplied with the Bush Winch has been specifically selected for its strength and characteristics. The winch rope is very light, has no stretch and is colored bright red for visibility. No other rope, chain, cable or webbing should be used. Lighter vehicles can use the 4mm winch rope rated at 2000kg (4,410lbs) and heavier vehicles the 5mm rope rated at 3200kg (7,050lbs). Because two winch ropes are used in the vehicle recovery the actual pulling capacity is double the individual ropes breaking strain i.e. 4000kg (8,820lbs) or 6400kg (14,100lbs) respectively. This pulling capacity is unaffected by how much rope has spooled onto the drum. Approximately 50m (164 ft) of rope will spool onto the winch. The winch ropes non-stretch characteristic means that if the rope were to break under load it would not pose any risk from recoil and whipping action. Broken rope can easily be repaired and the rope can be used for any other purpose e.g. around the camp, on the boat, towing, tying down a load etc. No knots or shackles are needed to attach to the winch rope to the Bush Winch and eyes have been spliced into each end of the winch rope for joining and convenience.
