Joe, since you are going with the new winch with the 40-1 ratio....If you
have a "portable" drill, or a drill with enough cord to reach your tower, it
should be possible to make a little adapter, and simply use your drill to
raise and lower your tower! Doing the engineering/machine shop etc before you
install it would obviously be best. The 40-1 ratio makes the drill a viable way
to raise and lower....the 5-1 probably would never have the grunt necessary.
Let me know how you fare.
