YESTERDAY I WAS BENDING SOME TUBE AND WAS THINKING OF WAYS TO MOUNT A JACK OR SOMETHING ON THE BENDER TO MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER.......
THEN IT HIT ME MY WINCH:eek:
RIGHT NOW I HAVE LIKE A FOUR FOOT HANDLE ON MY BENDER ......
I WOULD SHORTEN IT DRASTICALY AND HOOK MY CABLE UP TO THE END OF THE HANDLE.....OH YEAH AND MAKE SURE NOT TO RIP THE BENDER OUT OF THE GROUND
PARK CLOSE ENOUGH TO USE THE REMOTE AND STAND NEXT TO THE BENDER.......
WALLA
WHAT DO YA GUYS THINK

I hope your winch stops faster than mine ;) I would think that it would be really difficult (impossible) to stop it at the correct moment.

This is interesting... use a snatch block to halve the speed.
Or maybe buy a cheap ATV Winch off Ebay, and rig up a permanent home for it, with a 3 or 4 pulley block and tackle system, too. No need for a hook - just clamp the cable down to the handle, should be fairly safe.

How about I bring over my two donkeys... That way you save your energy and then you can have your way with them when your done, so you make out 2x better than you would with the winch!:flipoff2: :rasta:
Just don't pound my donkeys two hard though; I'm gonna need them myself later!:D

Can we take out an insurance policy on you before you get started? Sounds dangerous to me.
Get a longer handle or a membership at the gym. :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

That's what I thought to until it came time to spend the money. I just couldn't make myself pay 200% more to get the hydro option.
I'm paying $487 to the door, the hydro was an additional grand.
I'll try throwing my 200+ lbs. around first and see how it works out. :rasta:
