how to use a snatch block?

if I had to use my block how is everyone hooking them up on the teryx? doesnt look like there is anywhere to hook up to. I saw some pics with some eye hooks mounted on a winch plate next to the fairlead but I cant find that plate anywhere. any clues?

the snatch block goes on the other end, where you would normally hook to the tree, use a strap around tree then attach block to the strap run the cable thru the block then back to the machine hook it to whatever you would hook to to pull it out using a tow strap.

The above is correct.......how ever, if you are really in a bind, you could run a 2 part line, which would require 2 blocks, now attaching one to the machine and one to the tree, or what ever........now you have really dropped the winch into low!

read the pdf file in this link. sometime like that mount is what I am trying to find to hook the cable back to after running through the snatch block.

Exaclty.. You run a strap through the holes on the block and secure it to some kind of anchor. Your winch line runs around the block and back to your machine. This doubles your pulling power. Or you can use the block to pull the rear of the machine over or even back if you have to blocks with you... They also can be used to lift up your machine to change a tire.

Here's my snatch-block eyelets. Tractor-Supply, rated for 12k. Not sure you've got a flat place to mount them. Strap to tree with block, run cable back to eyes.

Pate has the idea. I used a large "D" ring front and rear. Had to do some homebrew manufacturing but it works.
