Go with a Grip Hoist and you'll always be happy with it. I use them doing trail work, where we have moved 300-500 lbs stones. Unlimited distance ( just get longer cable) and no dogs to deal with....If you want to take up an inch you just move the handle to do it....want to let it out two, just switch the handle and let it out. The ton and a half is a nice size to work with but I also have the 4 ton ...big and heavy but can move ANYTHING...if you have a good anchor :p
