No offense, Don, but I think a lot of guys have no real idea of what kind of trouble a winch can cause. I've been using them for about 50 years, pulling my stuck trucks out, pulling other peoples' stuck trucks out, pulling logs for firewood, whatever. I've broken cables, chains, and straightened out hooks. One of the worst things I ever saw was when a friend of mine with absolutely no mechanical sense drove off in his IH scout with the pto engaged and the winch engaged. It twisted the cable around the winch so bad everything had to be torched apart. Of course he only went about 20 feet before the drive train locked up. Hydraulic setup should be a lot safer.
