I'm due for a new winch for a US 55' crank-up.
Is this type of winch suitable for this application?
The price is sure right, but anything that seems too good to be true usually
isn't.
Although a hand crank with a 4:1 ratio is a good work-out, raising and
lowering the tower with a drill motor would be truely wonderful!
