Thanks Mick, Johnny Hart and Stig! Your comments are all greatly appreciated. I have much to think about, and research to do. Thanks for giving me a great place to start looking.

I doubt I'd use the MCRP for much lifting at all. Anything rated around 1500lbs has no business in lowering loads. I bought it to pull leaning trees where I want them to go. Maybe for pre-tensioning, but there's better options. GRCS is made for lifting.
The gas winch Mick posted, as well as the chainsaw powered Lewis winches are cool as hell, they'll pull some weight.
Have fun getting that new big shot rubber on, helps if you warm it up first.
