Hey Iron Brew, If you want to try out your new winch bring it on over to my place, I broke my Farmi yesterday, the winch is about 34 years old and this is the first repair i am making tomorrow other than cable repairs. The drive chain to the clutch broke and i just got a new chain this afternoon. Once you get the feel for this machine you will wonder how you lived without it. Good Luck and be EXTREMELY careful when winching the cable in, if it breakes it can kill you. Before you use it make sure the cable clamps are all tight at the end of the cable if there is any and double clamps are a good idea. Just a thought .. . John
