Winches ??
bullfrog:
I am after a winch for general offroad use.
Its for a 90 V8 .
I dont plan on doing events but may do later.
I may leave it on truck if I sell it it and buy suitable type for rangie then.
Its mainly for recovery on playdays and possibly some tree work !
I may progrees to events later so maybe buy right one now rather than later ??
What size should I go for ??
Would a 6000 lb be ok, or a 9000lb or should I go for a 12000lb and keep it for rangie too ?
I may get 2 as might get better deal !
davidlandy:
9000lbs or 9500lbs
1.5 x the gross weight of the motor is i beleive the rule
many cheaper 10-12000lbs winches tend to be ssssllllllloooooowwwwww
Bulli:
Just buy a Warn,Superwinch or Tmax and have done with it. 9000 really is what you need or an 8274-50...if you want a real quick winch.
Tiny Tim:
Slow is OK for me
Trees dont move very quick :lol:
Have heard the same rule - 1.5 times weight of vehicle
dew1911:
Means According to my calculations (110 Gross weight 2950kgs according to Haynes) I need a winch with at least 9754.5lbs of pulling power, looks like the £149 2000lb one is out :(
