Its some sort of PTO and I want one.

 

 

It looks like a cable wrapped around the right front axle. Could be some type of a spool attached around the area of the inner cv joint. I actually thought about trying something like this last winter when we had 2' plus snow drifts across our steep driveway. I never got around to it, and it became less important when a neighbor with a huge 4x4 tractor plowed the driveway. Looks like a cool idea though but probably only practical for a trail rig.

That was my first thought. Might have to try this out sometime.

Those crazy Russians will try anything

yes.

looks like the rear pass. axle....... to me anyway.could work easily if rigged properrly.but i would not want to deal with breaking axles continuously.

would def try it in an emergency.

maybe they've rigged a pulley spool on the back axle shaft and just have to engage it when needed to wind the cable.

 

but, knowing how crazy the russians are, i bet they "Vise-gripped" the cable to the axle lol......

 

no offense to the russ's, i wish i had a russian wife sometimes lol
