Shift Knob Winch Controller

ran across this surfing through ebay for more stuff to spend money on haha anyone have any experience with these? Seems like a pretty neat idea and would def be helpful when plowing.

Seems like that would be mighty awkward. I kind of like to be able to keep my hands on the bars while operating my winch. It would also be hard to run the winch and the throttle at the same time.

I was thinking more like you could start pulling the plow blade up as you pulled the lever into reverse and then back down as you got back on to low gear, perhaps you are correct in action it may be a whole different motion

I think it would be great for plowing snow but completely useless when out playing in the mud on the trails.
Im with bobx2 on this one!

I wonder if you are able to use both switches. I like to keep my thumb on the handle bar switch while plowing to adjust height on grade changes and push snow up at the dead end of the driveway (To make sledding hill for the kids). But I could see using it when switching into low to go forward from reverse, would save a little time.

Ummm, no.

I want my left thumb to control the winch and not have to remove my right thumb from the throttle.

Sorry

I think you could, It's all on how you wire the switch to your Switch Relay.

Anyone notice that the gear selection is wacky on the top?

Yes. It's not just upside down. It reads backwards from the drivers point of view. Probably from some sort of photo editor manipulation.
