[TowerTalk] N0OST post Winch for UST layover and raise

[Bryan Swadener]

I did the same thing (thanks Rick). However, I used 
a Milwaukee "Super Hawg" (pn 1680). 
 
At 13A, it is the most powerful drill I could find. 
An ebay seller "CPO Outlets" had/has the best price 
on a refurbished unit. If I don't stop, it takes 
only a few seconds to tilt/telescope my UST TX472.
