Here is the transcript of this video:

"When comparing DLB and B-series winches made by the Dutton-Lainson Company, you'll probably notice that they have a few things in common.

All models in both series have a bult-in automatic friction brake- as long as the winch's minimum load requirement is met, when cranking stops, the load stops. Both feature laminated high carbon steel gears and embossed and reinforced bases, and both can be operated by a ratcheting handle or large boat lift wheel. They can even have the exact same weight capacity and share some other related specs.

So with all of these similarities, why do B-series winches cost more?

B1200 winches are a step up from DLB winches in that they have larger gear teeth for increased strength, multiple drumb hub diameter options for increased lifting and pulling speed, and braking mechanisms protected by an external cover.

However, B-series winches with a weight capacity of 1,500 lbs. or higher include all of these advanced B1200 features plus a unique set of their own, which allow them to be operated more often for longer periods of time.

These features include case hardened gear and shaft surfaces and even larger gear teeth for maximum strength, multiple drive shaft needle bearings to reduce wear, an external cover that also protects all drive gears, and internal reel gears to reduce wear and increase strength.

So while all of these features may result in a more expensive winch, they are also much heavier duty and intended for a higher frequency and duration of use.
