Featured in the PWA a few months back? It is one sweet unit, like a Weaver auto crane was'nt it?
Dont discount the hand crankers to quick. I use a old B&B 1.5 ton winch on my trailer for winching Power Wagons and tractors up on to the back of. Have to use a block to get the effort down a bit, but it always works good. Just depends on if you ate your Wheaties that morning or not.
My father in law and his dad loaded hundreds of tons of stuff on a 2 ton COE Dodge flatbed with not much more than a B&B and a bunch of timbers and a heavy bar or two. They were in the scrap business around Mabton, WA in the '50's.
