[scotty]

question about winches,

what is the difference between the 12v and 24v? and dont say 12v

are they better?
why are the better?

noticed that they cost a fair bit more..

do they just have more ooomff?

cheers scotty

You cant use a 24v on a 12v system basically.

[scotty]

ahh,,

so is there any difference performance wise of a 10000lb 12v and a 10000 24v winch?

just wondering.

cheers scotty

Not if they've been properly designed. The '10000' is the rating in pounds usually.

[Woodzie]

No its the voltage that the vehicle runs at 12v is most cars and vans 24v is lorries etc. you annot use a 24v on a 12v system as there is not enough power and if you used 12v on a 24v system it would burn out

[scotty]

cheers,

that winch has just jumped up to £155, and will got higher no doubt

cheers scotty

[scotty]

sorry about all the questions, but

we would be able to run a 24v winch with our two batterys?

No due to the surf being a 12v system
And the batteries are in parallel giving 12v........not in series giving 24v and that would fry the rest of the surf electrics

Bought 1 of these winches a few months ago for £186 off flee bay.
It was a 12000lb 5.5ton 12v winch wired and wireless remote.

how do you find the winch jon?

have you used it in anger yet?

nice work there in the fitting of it. i would prefer mine (when i get one) to be higher than that.

just have to wait on the results of the 4x4RUS winch bumper to see if it is affordable.

nice job though.

Only had a quick play at pulling daughters car up the back lane. Should get to play next weekend when i go to a local 4x4 site. I want to get stuck lol
As for the mounting position it was coppied from another forum members that i have seen working and worked well there so went for the same mounting position which tucks away neatly. with a winch bumper you would get a bit more height.
While the welder was out i made a ground anchor but not had time to try it yet.
