Subject: Re: [AT] driver convenience systems Now winch remote control<br>
<br>
The remote on my 5 ton, 2 speed winch is called a crank. The crank does<br>
have an adjustable throw so you can control speed and effort there a little<br>
too. It has 200' of cable on it and if it is something heavy it becomes<br>
really good exercise. :-)<br>
