winches

SteveG:
no where near the levels of an inline brake like the warn XP's. The cone brake is encassed in a cast iron section too which acts as a very good heat sink.

I would 2nd the vote for the Superwinch EP9. You get sealed solenoids, a good 4.6hp motor in a package that's proven to be reliable for a lot less than most offerings. I bought mine with the winch bumper as a package and the winch without wire and fairlead worked out at 325 inc VAT.

hardly generates heat at all, ive reguarly powered out over 70 ft down hills on comps with mine and me winch b**** told me it was hardly warm
perfect for use with syn rope
or get a husky and forget about heat build up  :lol:

the bridge isnt sealed tho  :shock:  still lets loads o c*** in and the motor and gearbox reguarly bungs up on mines so it a strip down job every time its been submerged....but then everyone should be stripped after bein under water for a length of time...or under mud when stuck  :oops:
or else it goin come back and bite u on the bum when u least expect it  :lol:
