Lalu/Tsk,
I too had the same observation. The rope did not seem to be strong enough to pull out the Pajero. If I can believe what I saw in the video, the rope from MileCruncher's Bolero broke towards the end of pull out attempt, and Vishal's Scorpio ended up pulling out the Pajero.
i can tell you that the bolero's rope didn't break. it was my towing belt, not rope and i still have it in one piece

Here is the video of the final pullout of the Pajero. I have reduced the size.

with planks now under the tyres, vishal tries to pull out the pajero

but the pajero only kicks up a dust storm

giving a nice sandbath to rajiv in the process

unfortunately vishal's scorpio is also on soft ground and sinks.

so the bolero first pulls out the scorpio

while the ladies are enjoying the afternoon's proceedings from the viewing gallery
