Re: pto winch pro's and con's

It is true, most PTO driven winches will make any electric unit look like a little toy junk. But most, if not all, newer trucks do not have PTO capabilities. So, an electric winch is the only option. The manufactures seem to be making trucks that are really doctored up cars. They sell well, so until the customer starts to demand "REAL" trucks again, this is the way it is....

Word to the wise (you probably know this already) don't suggest selling anything here unless you're a supporting member.

...or when all those who demand trucks to have so many car-like features decide to go back to driving cars...where they belong,and let the trucks go back to the working man
