Mobile winch system

A method for winching an object comprising the steps of:

• providing a generally longitudinal frame member, wherein said frame member includes a first end opposite a second end, said first end including a handle and said second end including a pair of wheels adjacent thereto, and wherein said wheels may freely spin in a first or second direction;
• providing a winching mechanism attached to said frame member, wherein said winching mechanism includes a motor, a winch drum driven by said motor, and a winch cable wound about said winch drum, and wherein the rotation of the winch drum either retracts or extends the winch cable;
• providing a power source operably coupled to said motor;
• providing a means for anchoring winching apparatus in a fixed position to prevent movement during operation attached to said frame member at the end opposite said handle;
• manually transporting said longitudinal frame member and winching mechanism by said handle so said longitudinal frame member rolls on said wheels at an acute angle with respect to a ground surface upon which said longitudinal frame member is traversing;
• positioning said longitudinal frame member and winching mechanism at a desired location for winching operation;
• orienting said longitudinal frame member to be generally parallel to said ground surface;
• anchoring said frame member at said desired location to prevent substantial movement during winching operation;
• extending a free end of said winch cable in a generally horizontal direction;
• attaching said winch cable to an object to be winched;
• and
• rotating said winch drum to retract winch cable while said longitudinal frame member is oriented generally parallel to said ground surface.
