Allen,
Great photo's.

OOOOO... Panther trivia I like it! Lovely pics Allen, if Paul can't use them I sure can. Where is that "Hair Farmer" anyway??LOL...BTW I think the photo Steve was referring to was in Bruce Culvers publication of "Panzer Colors lll" page 58 at the top. HTH Paul.

Great pics guys. Is this better? The non winch/non spade Bergepanthers were used to flat tow & as fulcrums or stationary mounts for unditching. Here the winch/spade version is the fulcrum while the nude ones are doing the pull & will flat tow the Tiger. Yes, or should I just add a Famo to the first scene above?


C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

Your call, I'm lovin'n it either way you decide. Rick H.

Cabled up the block and tackle for the pull. Not as tough as I thought. Great moldings from Wiseman Services.

A working Xfour block & tackle-whodathunkit. Maybe Xthree, I fergit. PaulE

I can honestly say I have never done any of this string surgery. How will this span be kept taught between subjects? Rick H.

Paul,
Great work and loving the idea.

Damn Bro, you don't mess around at all...I can't wait to see what's up your sleeve for the next step. With the 40 ton winch from the Bergepanther and this block and tackle, pulling a 56 ton Sturmtiger out of the snowbank should be a breeze…...……………..

Great photos from both Steve and Dude1.
4 to one pull ? Depending on the ground factor If I remember right, will look good Paul .

RickH, the two Famos are resin & the Flak Berge has some wheel weights inside. Gravity plus the pewter pulley block should do for the Tiger over the bank. Thanks Scottie. Thanks Allen, went back to original naked Bergepanther & two Famos. Dzohn, did a review of the physics involved & came up w/X7 (w/o friction factor) as seven cables are supporting the live weight of the Tiger, a ten ton pull ought to do it easily. C&Cs welcomed.

Paul
X7 would indeed be ok in that case. I had a chart years ago with the ground factors on really interesting to see the difference between a flat concrete base and a steep slope and all the permutations in-between .
