Here's my solution

Same kind of rig I use.   Works great.  I also have a homemade hand crank with nylon straps that i use more often than the winch.

Don't we  have an Italian member?  Double D?  He could help you , Dr.Buck.

If you really need it translated, my wife is fluent in Italian and might help.

I don't need help.  I can read the pictures.   They're in English.

I have the 10ton tag version of the JMS trailer.  My only regret is that I did not have the extra dinero to get the largest grapple and settled for the second largest. 
It helps if you speak French when contacting the folks in Montreal

what size winch are you guys using to parbuckle the way you do?  I'm in the market for the right winch for the job.

For parbucking I have a 2000 lb winch from Harbor frieght.   I Also use a homemade handcrank windlass. You should buy the biggest and strongest one you can afford in case you need to snake logs or pull your rig up hills or out of mud holes.

HarborFreight has some good sales on their winches from time to time. Their 2000# Badland winch occasionally goes on sale for somewhere around $50 (reg $99.99). I picked up their 3000# Badland winch. It usually goes for $139.99. I grabbed that one on sale for $97.50, and was able to apply a "one item" discount couponfor a net price of around $65.

I haven't used it yet. I may be junk, but for $65, it was worth the gamble. I've never parbuckled, and also I needed something for my Coot (an antique, amphibious ATV). I figured, worst case, I'll get some use out of it, and figure out if a 3000# rating is appropriate for my needs.
