I thought I'd bring this back TTT...

I have a 5k electric winch kicking around which I can chain to almost anything (I made an adjustable bracket for it). I was thinking about using this to step the mast on my H16 with the winch attached to the back of my truck. I have a spare motorcycle battery that would probably work fine to power it for this small 'lift'.

Anyone see any reason why this wouldn't work well, assuming I had the mast supported at the back with a 6' to 8' tripod to take some of the initial stress off?
