anybody like them? find any use for them? I have a wireless control module and remote but I cant decide if i want to put in the extra effort to hook it up or not. I just dont see any extra use for it. I am always on my machine when I am winching anyway. anyone know of anything positive that I cant think of?

Its a hell of a lot easier to wind your winch back in, and out if your free spool is acting up like mine does every now and then.

You can also keep some tension on your cable when winding it back in without having someone else help you

Did you remember to connect the winch cable to the drum on your car trailer. Lol.

I have 'em on both my machines. At first it was just a novelty to show up my buddy, but now I can't live without them. ...especially since my freespool rarely works. And, in theory anyway, it will alow you to stand clear of the machine while winching in case the cable snaps.

I decided against it. as there is too much modding that needed to be done on my machine as I already have other things on the go.. so I guess i'll have a viper wireless winch system for sale if anyone wants it.
