Bruce,You can upgrade the winch. For example, my tower (from an SK) came with a 
1500lb winch.I swapped it out for a new 2500lb winch. Much, much easier to 
crank, although a little more cranking needed. I  asked about the fixture 
because the 2500lb winch will fit on the same mounting plate.  I use a 2500lb 
on both the tower and tiltover fixture.Bill

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Winch Hi Bruce.Do you have the fixture that, depending 
on your choice of set-up, will either tilt it at the base of the tower or about 
8 feet up?Bill W6RGS -------- Original message --------From: BRUCE FORD via

TowerTalk@contesting.com Subject: [TowerTalk] Winch Can a few people let me 
know the size of winches they are using to fold their towers over. My Tristao 
has the 2 way mounting fixture and I have always hand cranked over to the 
horizontal position to work on things but having back surgery next week that 
will straighten out the issues but NO strenuous  stuff for a few months so I 
need to ad a winch…….sorry so longBruce
