Stan,
We did it! Something similar anyway. It is not yet complete. We don’t have a spreader bar yet. I put the eyelet as low as possible (at the same plane as the axle pins so as to minimize assymetric loads on the axle and make it neutral to the “pilot.” ) Thanks for your great ideas. -Hal
Don,
We don’t have a failsafe stop mechanism yet, either. However, since this winch has a wired remote switch, you can give the wire a tug and it comes off the socket at the winch-end and breaks the connection, thus killing the motor. (Power is fed to the motor through the remote switch, thus pulling the cable cuts power to the winch.) The Aero-Tow guy’s idea is really smart though. Much more important with a wireless remote. -Hal
