For mooring a boat in a tidal harbour or on a beach. Or for attaching a winch to, to pull a winch equipped vehicle. ie. Off road winch events. 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan 1,273 #5 Posted May 31, 2017 There was a lot of fishing gear, including a Seagull outboard motor plus spares and a folding three pronged anchor, at John's a few years ago. Acquired from a late friend of his. All sold on now. Don't remember seeing Chris's find before though. 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #6 Posted May 31, 2017 I was going to say it look like a ripper for tearing up roots in the ground. 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
