Title: Big enough winch?
Post by: marjan on February 24, 2007, 19:39:29

Would this winch be powerful enough for self recovery on my Vitara or do I need something bigger?

I ran a superwinch X6 6000lb winch on the zook originally.
nice and light, run synthetic line and its superlight.
It was OK on a single line pull, and if it struggled I just doubled it up with a snatch block.
I was quite happy with it.

I notice Phil has stopped selling Champion and GEW winches, I wonder why?
I only sold Come Up, Superwinch and Warn
