Thanks for the clarification, Stig. I don't know that I have seen one over here without the Tirfor name, but interesting to read you say that there is a local copy.
Good question. Most of the ones I see here say Tirfor on the case, and seem to appear in every way the same as what is shown on foreign websites. On recent ones, I see the little instruction diagram on the side in the local lingo, if that indicates anything. Real ones made for the market here...
One ton would be a good size to have. I mostly see the three-quarter and 1.6 ton in use in these parts. My experience is mostly with the three-quarter, and since it only uses 9mm wire, and the winch quite light itself, easy to haul around. It doesn't seem like the Tirfors have ever found...
Got to love a Tirfor winch, a great tool when the chips are down. Safety factor rated to over five tons, it must be rather large diameter wire for that winch, and heavy as well.
