Open car trailer vs enclosed

I got a lot of cars moved with the little 2500 harbor fright (on purpose!) winch, but there were lots of times I wish I had more.. Bought a 9 ton HF, acts like it could pull down a house. Battery and winch in a box, on the trailer.
I got my old 2500 bolted to a mount to go in a receiver, but set up to be chained to a tree, or whatever. Handy for moving cars on those wheeled rollers.
Edit: beautiful family, and family of cats!
Doc, I have moved countless old Mopars with nothing but a good boat winch. Cheap. Yea ya gotta buy some 1/4 in cable for it. Only thing a comalong is good for is pulling wire if ya don't have a friggin tractor! But how at 75 and woreout, have really finally outsmarted it all. When I need to load that new "bargain" I just hobble around alittle worse and the seller will run volunteer to run the hand crank! :poke: :thumbsup: :confederateflag: :confederateflag: :confederateflag: :confederateflag: :confederateflag: :confederateflag: :BangHead:
