A very good description, thanks for providing it!

Thus we learned that the differential feature as we were using it would
have to be disabled and a couple of dog clutches would have to be
devised in order to turn our winch into a true double-drum unit.

The Supacat neutral and third brake is a useful design feature. With
the lever released and the engine running the gear-box is spun up, so
its oil is kept moving (good on a cold day) and the fluid clutch won't
overheat. The combined control makes it easy to rotate the dog a
little to help it engage.
