Which winch?

[yoshie]

Thanks for the feedback chaps. Not wanting to appear a tight arse, (no, I'm not Scottish ) I can't justify spending much more than these cost for a winch that will probably will be used very little. However, having said that when I do want to use it I want it to do what it says on the tin!

Cheers, Nick

I don't want to express an opinion either way. However, I bought a 1300lb superwinch off the first guys. Top quality, quick delivery. I also changed my order to include 15mm plasma rope and cables to mount the solenoids remotely. They made my order up same day, hand wound the rope, asked what vehicle it was for and how I intended mounting it. They were attentive and helpfull. I didn't feel they were just after a sale. Can't comment on the other guys, as I've not dealt. Good feed back too though.

Wow you ain't gonna recover a surf from much with THAT!

1300lb....

Fair call! I should have typed 13,000lb. Last time I used it in anger (last month) was to remove a row of tree stumps that the back hoe on a JCB failed on. I did double the pull via a snatch block though. Stumps made a nice popping sound as the 4-6" roots parted. Surf sat on "idle-up", tied to an Amazon. Winch never laboured - didn't even slow down noticeably from no load speed. I would like a Warn/insert named brand here, but this works fine and is well provided for with spares (same parts as Warn/insert named brand here)!

I'll loo after it. Time will tell whether it'll reciprocate ()
