Let me add..
You will buy a crank, especially if you get a heavier one.
I can cock mine with the rope and that's what I carry for reloads in the field, but for practice and my first shot while hunting, I use the crank because multiple shots usung the rope will hurt my back. I can uncock with the rope, but it's a risky business IMO. I just bang one into the target when I get home.
