This Dutton-Lainson 2-speed, heavy-duty winch is designed for multipurpose horizontal pulling operations. It has a manually controlled hand brake for load release.I tried to write a review on your link below, but no luck tonight. We have completed our ATV/Tractor log arch (pictures attached) of which included the Dutton-Laison Hand Winch (DL14881) and the 7/32" x 50' Fulton Galvanized Winch Cable(FWC7500100). I purchased both items from etrailer, and together they work to easily drag and then load up 14" to 22" white pine logs into the log arch. While most logs are 8' long, the winch will easily handle a 16' log. The winches hand brake works very well in tandem with the down mode of the winch handle, when lowering a heavy log back onto the ground. Both of these items met and exceeded my expectations for both quality and price point, plus another bonus is the winch is made in the USA. I am very happy to say that you and etrailer have made our log arch project a big success!
I bought this winch to mount in an enclosed trailer for vehicle recovery. I didnt want an electric winch because I knew it would not be used frequently and didnt want to deal with a battery. I was skeptical about the pullung power it would provide. In use however, I was able to drag with ease, a 2500 pound vehicle into the trailer with one of the vehicles wheels locked up. In low gear the winch is slow, but dang it will pull. So that the winch could be removed easily, I mounted it to a skid that is anchored to the front two tie downs in my trailer. This way when not needed it can be stored in the front of the trailer, or removed entirely. The best part, no batteries. Also, nothing to go bad from sitting idle for a while.
The winch is heavy and feels of good quality. The ratchet has a very solid and crisp sound to it so I am anxious to spool the wire rope on it and use it soon. I am devising a 40" handle extension so I can crank it while standing at the side of the trailer.
Looks heavy duty
So far the winch worked as advertised - didn't use it very heavily but seems to be a solid peace of equipment - My trailer is parked outside, so I covered the winch for not getting rained on.
I have not used the winch yet, but bought it to replace a Fulton 3700. The new winch is built much better than the Fulton winch. The gear switch is a plunger style that goes up and down when you crank the handle. Seems to be more sturdy, than the flip handle that the Fulton has. This product is made in America and it shows. The Fulton is not made in America and you can tell. I am very impressed with the owners manual that covers every aspect of installing and using the winch safely. I suggest viewing the video on this site and you will see what an impressive winch they make.
Product was exactly what I hoped it would be. Website was very helpful throughout the entire process of ordering and tracking delivery. Thank you
