I did something very similar except I used two pulleys to double back on to make the winches life easier 😅

@@hankplays4563 that's exactly what I use it for! haha I wasn't trying to bash your design just sharing what I had to do because my winch kept thermal locking

Nice build, but I was nervous about the tongue weight limit.

i primarily use it for loading lumber like 6x6's and logs onto my trailer... I will post a video of it being used on the trailer

Hmmm...car suspension didn't appear to squat at all picking up that engine. That car should have squatted 4-6" at least. Super springs or was there a jack supporting car in some manner?

Thanks for posting! Am I seeing it right, it looks like you bolted the mounting/fairlead plate to the winch, then welded the mounting plate to the crane? I don't know the advertised weight rating on the hypertough winch, but I have noticed with my HF 2500# winch it struggles with 400-500 lb loads, even with a short and large power cable and fresh battery. Do you think all these winch manufacturers are over-rating their power?
