David Bowyer is the man, what he doesn't know isn't worth knowing and he is helpfull.

 

I agree with the above, David helped me no end, and also made me a custom wiring loom for the landy to my spec and sorted me out.

 

One thing to be aware of is that a husky dont fit a standard winch mount.

I have heard good things about Husky winches, when you say slow are they really slow, and are they more expensive than most?

 

When loaded there not too different than any other it's mainly the no load speed. To buy new there dearer than a normal Superwinch but a lot cheaper than an 8274.

I wouldn't bother with pto or hydraulic especially fir the l200 as id doubt you'd be able to get a pto to fit, which would mean a hydraulic run one of the ps pump if possible, nit sure if that's doable on an l200.

 

If the your other vehicle is 24volt you could fit it to that, one of my huskys is 24 volt and it goes on for ages.

 

Also spares are easy to get too as there's been little change fir 20 years or so. You could get a used husky for 200 on eBay, 50 quid for an albrite 150 for a motor if needed for the same price as a new cheap Superwinch.

 

Beware though if you go husky the mounting pattern is unique to that winch

Fitted a 'superwinch' say 4 tonne on the back of my L200 (03 4life). Had an insurance prob fitting to the front + bumper prop, so as it already had a square section drawbar I fitted it onto the back. 2ft piece of heavy angle on the top toe flange (spacers on the bottom to allow toe ball to work with trailer) got a picture on here somewhere. Second number plate on IW top.

 

I also made up a large anchor fork out of heavy angle and plate to hold the truck when winching. with cable running underneath to isolator.

 

Works brill, would fit one again to the back. Also useful for pulling following landy m8's out _only joking.

 

Brought a loada gear from the 'rachet shop' - 10mm chains made up for tree hauling, slings and rachetstraps (often used to strap front of L200 to tree for anchor for big pulls)

 

Tip buy a pulley so you can double the load.
