[TowerTalk] Fulton K2550 on a UST TX-455

[res1q6fs]

Joe, where did you order your Fulton K2550 from and is it a K2550 0101 or K2550 0301 model? I have a K1051/KX1051 on my HCX555 and am considering a different winch for raising to make it easier. 

The winch I really would like to replace is on the raising fixture. I have not used it yet to raise the tower from horizontal, but I can imagine what it will be like when I get a beam and a few verticals up on it.
