superwinch husky are good winches, slow retrieval rate but line speed barely changes whether it has no load or 3.5 ton on. i got one under the rear of my truck for pulling chipper into trailer. had a couple of competition spec warn winches but found them to be very fragile in terms of castings breaking

Depends on what you want to use it for. Occasional use and self recovery you will be fine with an electric but if you want endurance go with hydraulic.

if your looking at using it ever now and then, i`d go for a worn winch. but if your going to use it alot then look at a hydraulic one...

electric warn, around 12.000lb-most powerfull for that sized truck without being stupid!

get a fabricator to make you up a mounting plate, or aftermarket winch bullbar

Mate of mine has just fitted up a 6ton Superwinch which runs of the pto of the Landy, awesome.

unsure what to go for really,dont want to spend a fortune.but you get what you pay for eh

[garth mc garth]

not always mate, i got nearly a grands worth of warn hanging off front of my hilux and its been nothing but trouble!

but you get what you pay for eh

 

If you are the scrotes that nicked my winch of the front of my disco you get what you don’t pay for.

 

If you fit one a couple of strategic welds are a good idea.
