Re: Using a winch to part your rig.

I went to all the trouble of mounting a winch to the floor of my garage, I had a special yoke made to attach to the trailer so it would pull straight and everything. used it two or three times and decided it was too much trouble. I agree using a front mounted ball would be much easier and safer.

Not to be pedantic, but a chip is in no way mechanical. It is electronic.
