I should have added the electric option but figured everyone already knows that. But it is true. Easy, corded controls, probably faster, much easier to mount and a LOT cheaper. A forward/reverse PTO can bust $1K in a heartbeat. How's that for openers? I bought a brand new 12V 10K winch on ebay for 300 bucks so I couldn't agree more.
