    Sorry, I haven't tried it under load, but I'm hopeful it won't be noisy - very smooth running with the castors on aluminium sheet.

    When I find time Im adding traction loss too, yippee. Got the third Jrk, a spare winch from my old sims (bought a spare incase one failed, 4 years of my abuse plus a couple by the fella who bought it off me and they still going strong), Just need to build the frame under it all. And I begin testing too.
