Hi Mike,
To tilt/telescope my UST TX-472 + F12 C-4XL yagi, I use a refurbished
Milwaukee Super Hawg (13A, 400rpm) that I found on eBay for a
couple hundred dollars. The Ridgid unit can be had for less money but,
it's also rated 9A, 400rpm.
The Milwaukee unit is a monster -- if I don't stop, it takes only about
30 seconds to tilt and another 30 to telescope. I take more time,
to avoid tangline feedlines & wire antennas.
I use the N6RK method of adapting the winches to be driven by the
drill: http://www.n6rk.com/drill_adapter_for_winch/drill_adapter_for_winch.html

Has anyone had experience or have an opinion about turning a
Fulton KW series winch with a Ridgid R7122 to tilt up/down
my HG70HD?
The specs and warranty look real good.
