[AT] driver convenience systems Now winch remote control

Mon Jan 27 18:50:09 PST 2020

The tractor supply winch remote has gone up a little since I bought 
mine....    Here it is:

When pulling a tractor or other rolling stock out of a place and loading 
it,  I can usually stay on the equipment and drive it as it winches.
