I'm curious as well! That thing looks way to big and beefy to not have some sort of job.
It was made for a few different reasons. one of them were logging, i was working at my X girlfriend's dad's logging company in eastern washington, the truck pulled trees up the side of mountains using a warn 9000. we had two useless guys setting the chokers, about 1 out of 20 passes the choker would pop open and the cable would slingshot back. the guys blamed it on faulty equipment. i blame it on carelessness.
for those that don't know what a choker is
