Winch size ?
jimthelandyman:
buy a 12000 pounder if you want one, buy one don't let anyone else decide what you want thats what i do, i always go for bigger and better its just up to you what you want plus its always nice to know you got the power there.
Range Rover Blues:
Bigger also + heavier, I'd prefer to get a decent 9,000lb that can actually pull it's rated load than a cheap 12,000lb that can't. My opinion, that's all.
muddysteve:
i've got a warn M8000 on the 110 and never had any trouble
its put a few shall we say far eastern 9000/12000 winches to shame
also you can always chuck a snatch block on it, it will pull a house down then
jimthelandyman:
my 12000 britpart winch has been mint so far been well powerfull and is about 1 or 2 kilos heavier than the equivelent 9000.

I can vouch for the strength of his winch, his truck on solid ground (with like 14" wide tyres on) pulling mine out and it just dragged his motor along not even straining the winch, anchored another motor to the back of his and it dragged them both across the solid ground all wheels locked up, still didnt seem to bother the winch, so we had to find big rocks to stick in front of all the wheels then and with people stood on the cars and me gently slipping the arse off me clutch in hi reverse it pulled me out. that awful quicksand stuff that fills in your ruts behind you and up to the top of the wheel spats in it. mankey.
