Default Re: Winch

The folks who make these winches sure don't load many race cars on trailers, at least not solo. They all have 50 feet of cable but only 10 to 12 foot remotes while we have 16 to 25 foot trailers. That requires a second person to turn the wheel while the car loads. Mine came with two remotes, one handlebar for an ATV and one trigger remote. I rigged them together for a cable around 30 feet long. I could load from in the car if needed. I had the hook come undone once. Watching the car roll towards the side of the house was not fun. I have walked wheel blocks behind the rear wheels since then.


I keep my cable lubed with spray chain oil to reduce the chance of snarling on the spool.
