I have the TX472 and have been using a Milwaukee Hole Hawg to raise and
lower it for a couple years now. I replaced the winch with a worm gear
style winch to avoid the potential problem of damaging the brake on the
Fulton Winch. I raise the tower on low speed and lower it either on low
or high speed... The drill easily handles the torque. I merely hold
the grip in my right hand and the weight of the drill is almost
sufficient to keep it in that position. If the tower starts to bind I
can easily feel it and let off on the trigger instantly.
