In the rare event that I get stuck I just use the loader and bucket to assist getting unstuck. I guess a winch has other handy functions too now that you have it.
I am sure glad I got 4WD! I have been working the woods this week. No trouble at all. Man is it muddy. In fact I have only been stuck once and I still don't understand why I got stuck in that place under those conditions.
Depending on the winch you may need to upgrade to a battery that will handle the load better.
