Abstract
A winch spooled with a cable is provided for mounting on the boom of a host vehicle. The winch is surrounded by a frame housing that is capable of withstanding the forces applied by the host vehicle. A braking mechanism is provided for controlling the spooling and unspooling of the cable. The winch is mounted on the boom of a host vehicle by a conventional attachment that is used for other custom tools such as buckets of a backhoe.
