20191101_175401.jpg This cheapo 300kg (660 lbs) winch on a cheapo 1-ton beam trolley will make lifting & loading easier.  But it'll probably be used mostly for field-dressing deer.  I had to replace all its wiring because the mfr. only put ~4' of remote cord, and ~1' of power cord on it.  I also had to build the brackets to attach it to the trolley.

UPDATE: The winch motor stopped the first time I put a mild load on it. I haven't climbed up to see exactly what the problem is.
UPDATE: The cheesy limit switch was stuck, so it thought the cable was fully-reeled-in. It's back to working.
