Don’t do it in reverse! Because of the shape of the teeth on the gears in the diffs they are much stronger going forwards..
But yes well done!

I was holding it on my service brakes, on that sort of surface I'm applying about 3 tonnes of tractive effort. On dry tarmac like in the picture I was getting just over 3 tonnes of resistance, on semi-dry tamped concrete I was getting 2.988 tonnes of resistance, on damp grass held on the brakes I'm applying approx 2.4 tonnes which drops to 1.6 tonnes the moment you let the wheels drive/spin, the more they spin the more it drops right down to sub 1 tonne. This experiment was carried out with calibrated crane scales.

When I first saw the picture I assumed you were reversing. I hadn’t noticed the winch rope..
