when i say professional winch operator, its true none the less.... i operate a drilling rig as my main job these days, as things were getting unbearable back home in the Detroit area i had to go back to the oilfield unfortunately some years back....
but its pretty much where i belong i think
my main winch is 1100 hp.....not a big one but pulls 300 k easily enough.
