This was long over due.....The store bought hitch hoists just suck....to much flex and not enough height.....soooooo...my son and went to engineering our own. We started out with 1/8th thick walled 2 inch square tubing and added 800 lb pulleys and a 800lb brake winch and 3/16 7x19 SS aircraft cable. 1/4 inch brace supports.3 coats of primer and 3 coats of enamel later we wrapped a pair of them up with plastic end caps to use on the "death" wagon.I simply welded 2 receivers into the front corners of the trailer to slide the hoist into.Our 4 wheelers dry weight is close to 700 lbs and she had a full tank of fuel plus a 40lb sprayer on it that was also full. Cranked it right of the ground with no problems...now we are ready to put them to use!

It is just another spot to allow rust intrusion.

If you ever invite me over to kill one of those Ohio elk on your farm from the "nose bleed" stand I will be prepared!

We have already tested them on a recent depredation hunt. Very smooth with little effort.
