Funny that I haven’t seen this discussion. I’m assuming the winching vehicle should not be in park. But rather parking breaks or regular breaks. Yes?

For some reason I’m overly protective of my parking pawl on my vehicles-I cringe in horror if someone parks my vehicle on a hill without putting the brake on, selecting neutral and releasing foot brake, then going to park. So…I’d definitely be using the brakes and not the pawl, personally.Funny that I haven’t seen this discussion. I’m assuming the winching vehicle should not be in park.

This ^^^^ Also depending on the situation you usually want to dig holes with the rear wheels so they bite in & don't pull out if it is going to be a hard pull. Parking brake won't hurt .Transmission in Neutral then use your regular brakes. That will keep the pulling stress out of the drivetrain.
