I have the chance of a PTO Superwinch and bumper. Good thing or should i pass?

davidlandy:
they always strike me as being on the large side - I think that these are the ones seen on the utlility motors arent they?

I beleive that they are very reliable.

Guy,  u need a winch!

muddyweb:
Depends on how good the deal is I would say.

They are very good in terms of pulling power, but tend to be quite slow.
They won't overheat or get less efficient with heavy use, but you do need the engine running ;-)

You'll probably need to look at the front springs once you've fitted it, but that's true of any winch setup.

Xtremeteam:
a mates got the hydrolic version o the superwinch pto (same winch just got a hydrolic motor where the shaft goes in) & now that he's reset the valve bloke it can out pull an 8274,if its cheap id say take it

oakeedokee:
If it's an H14 like mine, it will outpull anything. The main draw back is that it bu99ers up your approach angle unless you're feeling like doing some serious mods to your vehicle. You will need to uprate your front springs - my 110 has 90 rears on the front, as this winch and bumper are seriously heavy. So long as the correct pto and all the drive shafts, uj's and brackets are there, it should be fairly straight forward to fit. You don't need to uprate your battery as you would with an electric winch, so saving cost there. As for speed, you have five forward gears to chose from, although I wouldn't recommend any above second for recovery. Remember you're getting about £3000 worth of winch and bumper here for what? £365 in my case. What a bargain!!
