[QUOTE="schaibaa, post: 905015, member: 12714"] Hi Guys, Thanks for those who submitted helpful posts. I'm looking for options and several were provided. As far as smoking the clutch goes, it's trickier than it sounds - it's a road race car and is very low and wide - overall roughly 1/8th inch more narrow than the trailer rails. I have to use wood blocking under the tires at certain times to raise the aero over the various parts of the trailer - and it is fairly hard on a clutch to lift the front tires up onto a 1.5" wood block repeatedly. I can't do it on a roll due to the width issue. Plus it's just generally agreed that it's fairly hard on a clutch to get loaded into a trailer like that - just trying to buy the cheap part (winch) and not the expensive part (clutch). I might try the come-along. I have a nice one but as you know it takes quite a while to ratchet 25'. I did find some people (as someone suggested here) with chains on either side of the winch - that might work. Thanks everyone - [/QUOTE]
