Right...it has a block and tackle (I think that's what they call it??)type thing hooked to the car...cable hooks to an I bolt at the front of trailer. The other pulley is so I can mount it over to the side to a plate I welded in the corner..I don't really understand the whole block and tackle thing and how it makes it easier...I set it up that way on the advice of a guy I know and it seems to work well..but it is sorta slow cause the winch is a cheapo.
When you double the line through a snatchblock, you double the pull, but you cut the line speed in 1/2.
