Winches Again
datalas:
Why not look at a tabor ?
Bulli:
Mudlark, me old son...come along anytime you fancy and see if my winch gets used.... err i have one- you are thinking of buying one, think i will rest my case there.
Ps ive also got a shogun and its lovely on the motorway, down the shopping centre or whereever my Mrs takes the kids......... :wink:
Range Rover Blues:
I bought a Superwinch (I think, I don't see it that often) onm a removable mount, it's great at holding the backof the truck down but I usually get towed out, it's quicker.
I was interested to see that my "warranty" is invalid becasue I bought it with plasma fitted, but warranties are for lighting fires, the LAW says it must be fit for the purpose for which it was sold, so if it arrives in the post along with a shiny new winch bumper for a Defender /Disco etc then I find it hard to believe the seller assumed you'd only be dragging cars onto trailers :wink:
As for using a snatch block, in the DVD that came with the winch, Dave Bowyer demonstrates single, double and triple line pull on a Defender ebing winched up a slope. The winching speed is similar in all cases because a motor under less load will run faster and draw less current as it's more efficient running at speed./
Now I'm not an expert at winching, far from it. Bulli and 'Zuki I know do a lot more winching and as has been said, all the challenge guys buy Warn.
If it really was just a matter of badge engineering I don't think that would be the case.

I've looked they're too expensive :lol: :lol:
You're not telling me they're more expensive than Superwinch are you?
My thoughts are on a Champion at the moment probably their heavy duty range
Unless I can get a nice mechanical winch with a Shogun pto

They are cheaper than Superwinch. Superwinch is an OEM versio of the Come-up http://www.comeupwinch.com/en/about.php
If you can find a similar spec'd superwinch cheaper i'd be interested to know

well actualy, come up is the cheaper version of the superwinch, ive spoken to my friend hu is x superwinch engineer at tavistok plant
the come up is made in the same plant, it just depends what colour they want spray it, there is no difference apart from colour,
its like if uno marine engines....mercury mariner are both made by marine power, all they do is choose between a black cowle or a silver cowle and hey presto to differents incomes and ones cheaper than the other, all your paying for is the name, i.e mercury is dearer than mariner cos mercury been round for 40 year mariner on 25

I know they buy Warn, But why?
They'll all tell you it's because they're the best - but why do they say that, have they all gone through every single winch there is to prove that Warn is the best or are they all relying on what others have told them.
The only way to really know how good something is is to test it to destruction.
Probably the paramount reason I haven't bought a Land-Rover yet, as I see one destructed every time I go trialling
