Re: Winches
 

Well, they're both used in heavy equipment, where starter motors
are gasoline.

Re: Winches
 

Of course, when the "Real Jeep's" engine is dead, it is also irretrieveably
stuck, because (like the hydraulic-type) a PTO can't operate with anything
but engine power. So, if you've found yourself stranded in the middle of the
river with a dead engine, might as well just get yourself to shore, forget
the Jeep and hoof it back to town....whatever's left of it'll be there after
the spring runoff is done. With an electric winch you can ... oh, never
mind...
