Ramsey Pro 8000 recovery winch.
can anyone shed any light on what these ar like as a winch ...any good?
discotec:
or this one:
12000lb BRITPART ELECTRIC WINCH (5443KG)
Motor output 3.6kW (4.8hp), Maximum line pull/motor current 12,000lbs (5443kg)/375A

Depends what you want/expect it to do.
Both should be capable of pull a 4x4 out of a mud hole. For recreational use and suitably looked after they should last a long while.
LRO did a test of several winches, including the Britpart DB9500i, but to be honest the artical left more questions unanswered than it did answerd. All they measure was winching times, so the artical doesn't tell you anything about actual line pull compared to rated, current draw, duty cycle (how much winch they can do at a time before they have to stop and cool down) or durability.
There was an artical online from an american mag which was an endurance tests of several winches, but I can't remeber the link.
discotec:
well use wise nothing special i do allot of tree work and somtimes stumps to be yanked etc
and recovery when i get stuck which i know is not very often so no challenge events he he
also superwinch ep9 on offer
clbarclay:
I do have first hand experiance of the EP9 and so far its done what I've asked of it, the only down sides so far with the EP9 is the free spool has a fair bit of resistance. A general downside to winch is at pay and plays they are proportional to the level of peer pressure :lol:
