so ya, you need a bigger winch, someone is bound to get hurt.

Pounds and Newtons belong only in the same discussion if you're talking about conversions. The pound is a measure of force, while the kilogram is a measure of mass, and newton is a measure of force. The force of gravity is 9.8 meters per square second. The force of gravity is also 32.2 feet per square second. Pounds and Newtons include gravity, slugs and kilograms do not. I'm not trying to be an ass but don't spout off random numbers and terms if you don't know what you're talking about.
