new winch and new advertising

I dig your setup Cory, I am also looking for a 5 ton+ winch for my deckover trailer. The one I have has tilt feature and is dovetail, any recommendations on your behalf? I am worried about the steel cable rubbing when pulling a car or something on the trailer. I would have to weld a bracket like yours as well, also I like the portable winches that hook up into a 2" tow receiver. You can remove it so no one swipes it, but I wonder wich is best? any input appreciated. Also my trailer has a battery to run the hydraulics, I guess you need a verry good battery to run these winches. I wonder also if I can install a hydraulic winch to run off the pump or should I stick to electric

all of mine are electric, the wrecker guys swear by hydraulic but i have no experience with them. the rice trailer in the pic has a hydraulic tilt also and came with a marine battery. i welded two braces on the upright on the front of the trailer and welded the plate to the braces, then bolted the winch to the plate. i installed it this way so the cable wouldnt rub my trailer verses mounting it on the front. i bought a new marine battery at sams club today just for this winch (i know ive got alot of free ones) so ill have one battery for the winch and one for the tilt. these batteries at sams club have a one year warrenty and ive already swapped in the one on my dovetail a few months ago and you get a new warrenty on your replacement date. im still working on where to mount the winch battery, im thinking of welding a box under the floor. im gonna try to get some pics before it gets dark of what i have done

edit, dave on the dovetail as far as i know there is nothing you can do to keep the cable from rubbing and loading a vehicle it pulls better on the lowest point of the car you can hook to
