WelshLamb Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I've got a cheap as chips 12000lb Champion winch on mine. If it lasts half as long as the last champion winch I had, I'll be very pleased. As I'm not one for routine winch maintenance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 90 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Warn are best but expensive - the TDS range that Goodwinch sell are very good too - if you afford a synthetic rope get 1 !! if you have never used a winch before have a read on some of the offloading forums for some tips about keeping your hands & fingers !!!!

V8 90 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Not really - big plus is - it doesn't retain any energy so if it were to break it's unlikely to remove any limbs ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
