That shouldn't be too expensive or hard to setup on the truck at all (sarcasm!!!)!!! lol
Great idea, and good to watch, but not sure Bullbar manufacturers will think so!!

to me looks like it does a away with fairleads and looks like it has a sliding guide on it so you dont get bunching in the rope also the rotating winch would also stop the wire bunching thats just what i have considered from watching the vidio.
just went to the web page and copy and pasted the following Q&A enjoy the light reading LOL
Existing Winches: The fair-lead weighs about 5 kg and is mounted on the winch.
The Intelligent Winch: Saves in costs & weight.
Existing Winches:There is a friction between the fair-lead & the cable thus creating extra load on the engine.
The Intelligent Winch: Cable is being wrapped directly on the drum without friction and loss of momentum.
Existing Winches: The cable wraps properly provided the angle in relation to winch’s axis is 88 – 92 degrees.
The Intelligent Winch: The wrapping is being done regardless of the cable’s angle.
Existing Winches: In order to prevent damage the pulling angle is limited, allowing a slight deviation to the right or left.
The Intelligent Winch: There are no angle limitations. The cable stays free of any damage.
Existing Winches: When cable turns on one side of the drum the housing is exposed to pressure. This can cause damage, plus extra load on the gear & engine.
The Intelligent Winch: The cable does not turn on one side of the drum.
Existing Winches: A cable which is being wrapped unevenly will frequently be damaged.
The Intelligent Winch: The cable is being kept intact under all circumstances.
Existing Winches: When a cable is wrapped unevenly, quite often you are required to untie it by tying the end of the cable and driving backwards.
The Intelligent Winch: The cable always turns evenly on the drum.
Existing Winches: When a cable is wrapped unevenly it is impossible to re-activate the winch.
The Intelligent Winch: The winch is always ready for the next mission.
Existing Winches: A cable wrapped unevenly is time consuming and will never enable even wrapping.
The Intelligent Winch: The cable always wraps evenly.
Existing Winches: The system suffers from rapid wear of the housing, cable, engine & gear.
The Intelligent Winch: No wear of any of the components.
Existing Winches: The damage to the various components causes low credibility & high maintenance costs.
The Intelligent Winch: Zero maintenance costs.
Existing Winches: The tear in the cable creates safety issues.
The Intelligent Winch: No safety issues.
Existing Winches: Infrequent users find it difficult to operate the winch due to the limited capability of the system to function beyond the perfect angle, i.e. 90 degrees.
The Intelligent Winch: The winch is both friendly and safe for all operators, including beginners.

RIP - valued member and true gentleman of this forum that will be missed by many!
intriguing. I can't see what drives the level wind.
What I can see is that the winch turns so that half the winch is hanging down below the bull bar waiting to be wiped off.
If airflow and structural issues permit, I guess it could be mounted high enough to prevent this.
