Default New winch...

Well kind of! we`ve upgraded a few parts for now with more new bits to come, we just couldnt live without the winch much longer! the plan after xmas is to get a new spool to hold more rope and new engine, then we should have two winches running!
we may have some spare bulletline if anyone needs?...

Nice one on the second winch. How you finding the TAV? Is the performance vs harder to walk the rope out, working for you?

3 winches is the majic number. Suddenly all the tree lined locations you normally cant walk the rope round become doable.

New winch is looking nice. Has one person tried picking it up by themselves yet?

helljay spools not made yet and i could make what ever you want and whatever size you want.

i was going to make a spool thats got cnc machined cut-outs, same sort of design as the bulletline spool but with a better look

i aint got my winch started yet, and i'm just trying to pikey blag as much of the hardware as i can, then the frame can be designed and made to suit.

let me know if your interested m8
