Not sure where I will use this. I have everything from the tongue mount up for this.  Has 19' for strap on it, Right now, I tore it down for paint.

Lots of things can be done with it. I have kept it around as I thought it would be good if I got a single axle trailer.
 
I use one of those on my little 4 by 6 trailer. It works very very well. I had to make a stand mount on the tongue, but everything else was off the shelf
 
I use one like it to pull things onto my trailer.  Works great and even drug the MF1655 I bought recently right up the rough expanded steel floor with the rear end locked!
 
I've had this for a couple years, been debating what to do with it. Lots of options. Thought of making a mount that would let me slip it on to the angle around the top of my big trailer, but I have the 5000# winch on there already. Then I though about using the axle I got last year and make a tow dolly for GT's. That would be good for moving things around here and if I have to go after one in a yard I can't get the trailer too.


I'll get the mount out today and work it over some. Might give me more ideas. Pics later of it and the winch back together.
 
I got it back together this morning. Got a couple scratches on it, but it's better than it was.

Here;s the horizontal part that holds the winch.

I decided to make a 5 gallon E-tank to soak this in.

And the part that hooks to the tongue. It's not as bad.

Those came from pulling the strap through a small hole, Daniel. I had opened it up some, but could have gone bigger!
 
I put it together today, but no pics. About that time lightning started flashing and I wasn't going to stand out with all the metal and one Huge pecan tree right there!
 
That's a lot of good st tuff with that winch. That turned out nice. I have a couple of them too just laying around not with straps though. I have the HF 2500lb. winch I need to attach to my trailer.
