Mystic Marine electric winch
This small electric winch was made to pull a
4000 pound boat up onto its trailer. It can run on a 12 volt battery
and it has 20 feet of cable.
I'm thinking if it was mounted to a sturdy garden cart with a small
lawn mower battery it might have enough power to pull a loaded cart of
firewood up a steep hillside. Mystic
Marine has them on sale for just over 12 bucks with only an extra
10 for shipping.
Stay tuned to see if this idea makes it off the drawing board, or put
one together yourself and send me a picture of how awesome it is.
