Their different, Ruthless!
Whyyyyyyyyyyyy
I’m a millennial the world must design and use the winches I like the best!!!!!!!
The trailer has two or three “normal” Stwik approved winches. But 90% of them are these bloody things...
Their smaller... which would prevent Barrel rolling the strap as I call it.... but they have a sharp lip at the rail which I don’t like. -
Must be that @rutless guy messing up your good name again.cke, 1951 ford, Shock Therapy and 11 others Thank this. -

Isn’t that something... I give the bear payment to take care of the moose and they end up becoming best buds....
Someone is feeling cheated. -
What color? Gold??
We have a few of those. Not sure now but 3 years ago we had the two largest sleepers on the road in the US. I may or may not have sat in one of them partaking in some aged grape juice libations to the point of having to crawl down the steps to get out. My memory is kind of fuzzy about that night.
Here's a couple of them.

Here’s another...
The Gold/brown W9 I last saw in Arlington. Think he was finally getting ready to hit the road? -
I have those between the spread and on the top deck on my steps, I haven’t been able to find non store winches in galvanized tho. That’s my only issue with them.
Different don’t mean bad. Roll with the punches and figure out more than one way to do a job. That’s versatility.
People that can only do one job, one way: work in factories doing the same thing over and over until someone innovates and automates. People that have to do a slightly different job every time can’t be automated. -
I busted my ### deadheading 2000 miles to pick up a load that was to be one weight and size (under 12’ 14’ and less than a superload weight) and I roll I. To find out it is fully dressed 13’ w and I will be 15 t and definitely in a superload.
My permits are toast and my route that would get me to AZ before holiday cutoff is not possible at those dimensions and weight. So now I am looking at 5 days sitting in the truck at the NM/AZ line.
My attitude is flock you ... undress the machine and ship they way it was offered or drive it up your ....
Maybe by morning I will be in a better frame of mind.
I could have blown this off and hauled a load for what a teacher makes in a year that loaded 100 miles from my house. But, I gave them my word and then they pull this crap - “it was never going undressed”
They may have not liked my original price but they are going to hate my updated price...could be headed back to AZ empty
Good thing I can use the driving practice -
Ever seen a System trailer? That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw them...
There really awkward. A winch is a winch at the end of the day but ###### it threw me off........ and that was after I realized I didn’t have any on the passenger side and had to roll 7 straps

I don’t like this trailer to say the least.
The single reason of benefit I can give them is I’m ASSUMING they give you more clearance directly over a tire. That’s it?
