can you use a strap on this winch or only cable?

The winch is not set up for a strap. The directions only list how to attach a cable or a rope to the spool.

I think you can only use cable. There is a hole through the pulley and a clamp to accept a cable. I don't see any way to anchor a strap to it.

Not designed for towing however you could use a strap and tow a short distance.?

yup this is what you want, I am using one on my 350 vortec with dual group 31 batteries for a 12,000lbs. winch.

should work just fine. My Winch had 2 gauge and there was plenty of room in the connectors. My only other feedback on this connector is that it's not a real tight connection so make sure you have slack in your line or it has the potential to disconnect.

Winch can be powered by the existing battery on the vehicle you are putting it on.

I found this controller here on amazon, and it should be compatible with this winch. The controller: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002PNOKKQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1386119695&sr;=8-2π=SX200

I use the Big Game Ez-On tree strap that came with the harness but I am considering changing to the to a different type.

Basically you put your winch cable hook on a solid anchor point. Like a tree or tow hook on your truck. This block acts like a big pulley to double your winch capacity.

As far as I know you don't need a winch mount. Haven't installed a winch on it yet but by looking at the bumper it had a winch mount already with it.

No, it's just the mount and hardware. You'll have to use the fairlead that comes with the winch.

The issue would be how the cables would be ran. To use it as an additional winch you would need another cable and it would be in the way.

Yes you can, there is enough cable if you attach the rope to the chain that comes with it.

I ran battery cable to rear bumper and mounted quick connect then to winch on trailer

Yes, the winch handle is a crank that reels in the cable to raise the hook.

Yes. Type of winch shouldn't matter. Manual or electric, the attaching mechanism is all the same. As long as the winch assembly can handle a 2" wide strap (which almost every one can), you can use this strap on it.

There are two handles on this hoist. One is a lever that raises and lowers the boom similar to an engine hoist. The other is, as you mentioned, a winch handle. It does raise and lower the hook as you suspect. One item to note is that tension must be maintained on the hook or the cable will "birds nest" on you. I had to unspool and re-spool the cable a few times myself. And the way the cable is attached to the spool seems a bit odd and could use a new more effective method that I have not decided on yet. The foot must be used if picking up anything heavy as the hitch adapter is of fairly light material and designed for the foot to carry the load. I hope this helps.

whiel the use of a fairllead in general is a great idea,I highly recommend the use of nylon rope, especially if using the winch for snow plowing. Inevitably,steel cable will fray and frequently break and is expensive and time consuming to replace
