    I have a old sears booster 200 amp just one knob nothing automatic. Had it forever!! As a little kid I'd "arc weld" in my room with a nail and pop cans.
    To use my automatic on a dead battery i first have to fool it with a 9volt.

    I was at a local HF a few weeks back checking out winches. Looking to rig something up to pull logs into the bed of the PU.

    Nice find for that price. From the picture, it looks like someone took a generic (multi-fit) winch plate and welded on some extra brackets to make it work on a 3-point hitch. I would double check those welds as that could be the weakest part of the system when put under a load.

    I have one of these for my truck and have thought about wiring a quick disconnect to the tractor so I can use it on the Kioti.
