Yes it's one of my own
Have you tested it? does it work?
and does it have a loop on the head end for removal?
I presume it has one on the other end to attach a winch too.
I might be interested for that price. looks good

Sorry matt not been well for a few days and not been on line.
Yes matt I test all my work,
Before painting anchors and winch bumpers get fitted and tested on my 90 or disco.
I will get some better pics posted.
No my anchors are nothing like this fool sells, I'v used one of his and bent it 1st pull and if he had done any research into making ground anchors he would not still be selling them.
My gronund anchors are at different angles, bigger plough and are a lot stronger.
I'v done a lot of testing with different metal box/tube of differant sizes, even some angle iron to find the best and strongest way to make them,
In my testing I found that....
Tube is nicer to hold on to and throw over your Shoulder to get up muddy banks.
the most important part of a good ground anchor is that piece of flat bar thats sits across the bent tube. Its that doing the actual pulling and all force go through that.
When testing what angles to set the plough i found that shallow angles are better for loose or soft ground and steep angles for clay.
Wlm I think my anchor is more like the X ENG mark2

General vouch for Stu being a top bloke and definitely knowing his stuff when it comes to off roading and all that goes with it.
