Can anyone think of any reasons why a person couldn't/shouldn't use an endless chain/block n tackle in kit instead of a hand winch? I guess in mud they could gum up a bit.
Any other reasons come to mind?

they jam up when used sideways, and are pretty cumbersome. A come-along however would be good.

Ok thanks for that, thought there must be a reason they are not in use, shame really they are a fair price for capacity.

come alongs are nice, just remember they tend to be short grab lengths so you'd need an extra slide grab to hold it while you re jig for the next pull.
Some nice light units designed for powerline service..
