My plan for this winch is going to be Big Game Retrieval. And also for whatever need may arise in the back country. I have recently purchased the PCW3000. Nice winch and simple to use. Started up on the first pull and runs nice and smooth. Tested it with a length of 3/8" power braid rope. Grabbed on quickly and pulled nicely. Mounted it on my meat pack for easy carry. Can't wait to try it in the real world. Which means I will have been successful elk hunting. Cool product.

Thank you so much for expediting the portable winch to my PO Box. Good old US mail. Looks like it was shipped Monday or Tuesday and today, Friday, I had it and worked it! I made good progress on retrieving my broken down snow machine in deep enough powder. It is a heavy 4 stroke Yamaha. Snowshoeing, pulling a sled. Winch rode well. I don't think another machine would have pulled it. Need to double line it up a hill next. Great tool so far.

You can expect about 50 minutes of non-stop pulling at full throttle, same goes for the larger model #PCW5000.
