I am debating getting one of these to mount on the tongue of my woods trailer. It would serve a couple purposes. Mainly it would enable me to dump the load by welding a D ring to the base of the bed frame, and also it would enable me to lift heavy objects into the trailer such as rocks, large rounds, stumps, implements, etc.
The other nice feature would be whatever vehicle I tow the trailer with I wouldn't be relying on that vehicle to have hydraulics as would be the case with a hydraulic cylinder.
My biggest concerns would be:
* It would take a long time to crank the winch
* There would be twisting forces on the trailer frame, so I would have to build outriggers (not a big deal)
It'd be similar to the DR Versa-trailer, minus the pricetag.
