My old tractor has a Warn electric winch on it. It's old and it still
works, and while I have not examined the Powerwinch brand, I wonder if
these truck, 4x4 and "tractor" winches are tougher than the boater
trailer winches. The guy who owned the tractor before me used the winch
to haul fallen trees and suchlike off the edges of his farm.
==================================

My brother had one of those utility type winches. He got it thru
Grangers, I think. This was more of a light duty winch, tho. About
1500 lb. single line pull. It would have handled his 17 footer OK, but
he never hooked it up, so I can't say how it might have worked out.
But, it looked to me to be a well built unit. Powerwinch has a large
unit that is rated at 10,000 lbs double line pull. I haven't seen one
to these in the stores, I think you have to order them specially. Its
quite a bit more expensive than the 912 like I have.
