Has anyone used the Warn Winch Portable PullzAll? Either the DC or AC powered? I'm trying to find a way to get two Redneck Predator 360 blinds loaded into my cargo trailer. It's a 7x14 V-nose with a rear ramp door. I figured I'd run a strap across the front of the trailer on the E-track or floor D-rings, hook up the PullzAll to it, then run the cable out the back and connect it to a strap around the blind and let her rip. Then Once I got them out to my property, I would just pull the Ranger up behind the trailer and use the winch on it to pull them out. I have a bad back that has been really acting up the past few months. I had a fusion a few years ago at L3-L4, but now I'm having a problem lower in my back. It's so frustrating when you want to do something and no one to help. I guess I've just been over doing it. I ended up in the ER last week because it was so bad. I was looking on the net at ComeAlong's or for a way to get them in with minimum effort when I came across these at the Warn site. I've seen other portables that use a bracket/plate to hook up over a hitch ball. But these seemed more like what I need. The AC powered I've seen from $150-200.00. But the DC powered one is over $300.00. Before I pop for it I was just wondering how well it works. Some reviews have not been favborable saying that it smokes and burns up fairly quick. But being from Warn I would hope for better. Any way, anyone with experience?

 

Aren't those 5x6 blinds?

Do you have to tip them up on a stand, - I believe they have stands up 15'.

You need to figure dead weight and resistance, specially if your fastening to a stand and tipping up. Then times 2 IMO.

I've never used one that small. What's the rating ? You don't want a come along, you'll end up back in the ER. Your going to have to use your back to some degree, w/winch (power winch), there's more than just WARN winches. And they are rated in pulling power, not lifting unless they are now including that in the specs.

Not much help, I have a very old WARN 8000 lb up in the rafters for loading the truck or pulling engines. Hey it works lol.

 

Strap across the front sideways like you said, then a ****** block with a second truck pulling in reverse with a cable out the back door.

Thanks guys. The Predator 360 weighs 330 lbs. With one blind I have the 5' tower, and with the other the 10' tower. The brochure just says 425 lbs. for the tower, but doesn't say which tower. So I'll assume that's for the 15' tower? So I'll guess that the 5' is about 140ish lbs., and the 10' maybe 280ish lbs.? I went ahead and bought the DC version and got it for 347.00. I have an E-track in the trailer at half way up the side wall, and D-rings in the floor, on each side at the front, middle and rear of the trailer. So I'll run a strap across the front most end inside of the trailer, hook the winch and run the cable out to a strap around the first blind and pull it up the ramp and inside. My sister suggested using PVC pipe to roll it on. Then secure it. Then move the strap to the middle of the trailer and repeat. I'll have enough room to spare for both blinds. The stands are in separate boxes and are quite heavy. By my measurements, if I turn the box on it's side, they will fit along the sides . But I think it will just be easier to get a few people to load them into the bed of the truck. Then just winch them onto the ground once I get to the set up spots. So, There I have it, Maybe problem solved?
