You never know when a PTO winch is going to save the day.
You take a lot of grief owning an unairconditioned vehicle that tops out at
50 in West Texas. I publish the newspaper here in Pecos. This morning we got
a special shipment of paper in. Paper comes in 1,000 pound rolls, 27 inches
wide. Our shipments are supposed to be shipped rolling, since we do not have
the equipment to move it when it is laid down flat. Well, this 24 roll
shipment came on the flats. You just cannot pick one of these up and set it
on end, no matter how many people you have, and its not safe to try.
Long story short, after much scratching, I finally remembered the Koenig
winch on the front bumber of the rover. A little southern engineering and
presto, one very capable roll-tipping machine. That winch saved a lot of
money today.
All the best from West Texas
