Default RE: Hi-Start vs Winch - Area Needed ? ?

Here is what you need. About the price and the power of a good hi-start, but works like a winch. BTW if you are using a Dynaflite HD HS, I don't consider that a good hi-start. No disrespect intended.

OneWinch - www.onewinch.com
If you don't need the super power of a ford long shaft winch or you want to avoid all the walking of pulling your hi-start out to 800 feet, take a look at the Onewinch. I have one. Works like a winch in the space of a winch but about the power of a hi-start. No battery, very light and easy to use. And a LOT less walking than a hi-start. Posted several posts/reports starting on bottom of the page.

If you prefer an electric winch but, again, don't need teh big power of a FLS winch, take a look at this:
