My first post, new to this game. The winch has a higher rating than the weight of the truck and the shear pin is designed to prevent damage. If stuck to the frame of the truck the winch needs to pull the weight of the truck and also overcome the suction or obstacle. The total weight put on the winch doubles and triples when nothing moves. I have seen a tank stuck to the bottom of the turret in mud and it had 3 tank recouvery veh w/pulleys (100 + ton capacity combined)to pull it out.
