Portable winch recomendations

[Coletti]

Yea forgot about that bit about unwinding the endless rope puller I bought.. pain in the arse..
 
anyway, I think I'll get one myself.   make it into my own version of the GRCS....  if I'd known such a thing existed I'd of got one instead of the endless rope winch...  well maybe not, I use that for pulling stuff on my trailer...
 
 

They are quite expensive new but do come up reasonable price second hand from time to time. Best thing to do is look on eBay for "self tailing winch" "yacht winch" or "harken winch". I'll probably do the same to be honest, just for now I have a specific job in mind.

I'm not knocking the rope puller, it's a good bit of kit and certainly has it's uses and no regrets what so ever with it but for the jobs at hand it would just be too slow and fiddly
