I have had the Harbor Freight Frame Horn Hooks installed for quite a while now on the front of the Roxor. They were not expensive at all. ( Harbor Freight SKU 67497 Haul Master 10,000 LB Capacity Tow Hook $9.99 EA) So we are only talking $20 for a pair of hooks. Pretty Cheap for something I use a lot.
This morning I was out checking for fire damage on the hunting lease, and came up on a tree across the trail. Out came the 20 Foot Flat Strap from under the drivers seat. I looped the strap around the tree, and attached the other end to one of the Frame Horn Hooks, and dragged the tree out of the trail.
Later in the afternoon I was doing some clean up work in a valley where I plan to set up a nice Tower Stand between now and November. This is on my farm, not the Lease. I cut two trees that hung up in other trees. I thought about using the winch, but decided the 20 Foot Flat strap would probably work just fine. Back out from under the drivers seat came the 20 foot flat strap. I again hooked to the Frame Horn Hook, and pulled the trees down easy as pie.
I do not see the Frame Horn Mounted Hooks on many Roxors, which is a surprise to me. I use the hooks more than the winch. I do have Bow Shackles on all Four Corners, but the Hooks are handier to hook to for just easy pulls. I also have a Reese Hitch Hook that I can use on the back, again very handy for pulling things with a flat strap.
