Thanks Chris -
I have seen that winch touted, as well as it's big brother.
The lifting force when the tower is horizontal is a tad north of 4000 lbs.
Using a 4 sheet block cuts it to about 1000 lbs. That requires about 70 feet of
cable. The winch comes with 39 ft. and the only thing Northern will say about
it is that adding cable voids the warranty. I'm not all that concerned with the
warranty, but I'd need to know the top capacity of the drum. I'd prefer to use
1/4" cable further taxing the drum capacity.
How have the locals come to grips with those issues?
