What happens here

To demonstrate the hoist's load-bearing capability, Phil stands on the extended boom, showing that it can support a significant amount of weight without compromising the UTV's front suspension. He states the system can effectively move objects weighing up to 2500 pounds (though the winch itself is rated for 4000 pounds), allowing for the transport of large logs, rocks, and other heavy items that would otherwise require more substantial machinery. The system relies on custom brackets built into the Kubota RTV500 to secure the hoist and winch, which could be adapted for other UTV models.

Goal: Verify the strength and stability of the hoist system.
