Just an FYI - My WDH uses the cheater bar also but the last trip out I forgot to take the bar along
. What I found was once I connected the TM to the TV I could raise both the TM and TV with the TM crank to a level that made attaching the chains easy to do by hand and not need the cheater bar. I think I'll remember the cheater bar the next time but if I don't I got it covered.
