No need to buy a winch for each vehicle or trailer, this portable DC-powered unit mounts to any hitch or flat surface to haul in that boat, vehicle, trailer, and more! The winch can be temporary or permanently mounted to either a ball-mount hitch or a flat surface. A parallel-shaft gear ensures efficient power for rolling wheeled trailers and vehicles up to 6,000 pounds, pulling things up to 5,000 pounds through water, or dragging items up to 2,000 pounds. The winch shuts down automatically if overloaded. And, a toggle remote control lets you control the action from a distance. The winch is equipped with a 20-foot cable that reaches easily from the front of any truck back to a standard trailer--a nice feature for towing the boat in snug up against the trailer. --Brian D. Olson

Works well, does everything I needed it to do. Added a pulley to reduce the load. I use it to raise 1600 to 1800lb large hay bales. Only thing additional I would have liked would have been a switch to lower the load rather than releasing the clutch. Otherwise, very happy with my purchase at an exceptional price.

I bought this winch to use for small jobs around the ranch as well as some off road use. I haven't needed it to pull our Hummer out of soft sand yet, but I'm sure it could do it. We've pulled logs onto a trailer and an ATV up ramps into our pickup.
It is slow, but that's not always a bad thing when loading. It certainly won't do the job of a $500 bumper mounted unit, but for the price, you can't beat it

When I ordered this winch I did not realize that it is not reversible. It reels in under power but to let out the cable you have to unscrew the clutch wheel and pull the cable out by hand. This makes it useless for my purposes but it seems like it would probably work fine for most people.

Let's not get carried away. This is not a big winch like the ones you see fastened to the bumpers of monster 4-wheelers. It is much simpler than that. And for what it is designed to do it works very well. For infrequent light duty winching this is the perfect tool.
It has a built in handle for carrying, detachable power and control cords, and enough cable to get you within 25 feet or so of whatever you are winching. It has a 2000 lb rating, and will pull that much easily. Not quickly, but easily. It has a manual crank that can be attached to the shaft. It also has a very handy mounting plate designed to slip over the ball on a ball-hitch.
The clutch is manual, and drag is set by means of a threaded knob on the shaft. It is very simple to use. Simply connect the power and control cables, loosen the clutch, pull the cable to whatever you need to pull and hook it up. Then tighten the clutch and press the button on the control handle and start winching. Be patient. There is only one speed and it is slow. But it works.
I have tested the winch by hanging it from a beam and picking up the front of a truck with no problem. Then we really put it to the test by using it to pull our garden tractor out of the mud. It was a long pull so we needed to add a tug strap but it was easy enough to hook up. The pull was painless. The winch is slow because it gets it's power through gearing. It is quite a drain on a car battery, so it helps to leave your engine running while you pull.
Not something you would want to use every day but very handy to have around. For my money this is a 5-star tool. Great for the boat owner or for use around the farm.

Not good for my use... to pull a small sailboat out of the water onto a beach.
The 30 feet of cable was just what I needed but retreval was way............. too slow. Were talking 5 minutes to go 10 feet. Did I mention noise. Loud.
So it may work well for a very short distance (3 feet) but if you need it done today look for something more expensive. The quality of the unit was good.
