Good chart!
The 1.6t Tirfor does 2.5t horizontal pull but yes, in your example you'd be pushing the limit of the winch (and the operator possibly!) without a snatch block.
Having said that, I am yet to do a shear pin in mine, but we've always done a bit of hard work beforehand...although flattening a steep hill is always difficult :lol:
The cable is rated to around 8t, and I assume the shear pin would go somewhere between the 2.5t and 8t mark.
