I have a table made from 2 x 12s and all the rest of the hardware ready to go... I hear that an ATV winch is the popular choice. I will have a dedicated outlet for the winch as well. What size and make of winch would you guys suggest for this rig? Thanks a pile!

Found the 440 hoist for 100 bucks and will be ordering it in the a.m. Thanks again!
