what winch

[Dean O]

Any body recommend a winch?

For use on a landy, self recovery and dragging the odd log out.

 

been looking at the warrior tds12000 (5bhp), but for not much more money could go for the 17500ewx (7bhp in the heavy duty range).

i would recommend a chat with david bowyer at goodwinch. used him before and service is good, knowledge is great and just a nice guy.

I've got a few huskys on my landys. I'd rather get a used husky and spend a bit on it than buy a new. There not the fastest but there basic cheap winch, reliable, been round for yonks and spares are easily available.

T-MAX 12500 on the front of my 130 drag's it out of a problem every time and when it's got an IFOR on the back.

Warn for me never had any major issues with mine and have one on a 7hp motor.

well if its to go on a landy, forget new electric winches and buy a used superwinch h14 shaft driven running of the gearbox. will be pulling long after the electric ones have burnt out and would pull your landy apart before it stops pulling! I can't see how they could ever breakdown either as its all pretty basic principles behind it.

DITTO. But the only problem is there heavy cutting your pay load down.

As the guys after it for self recovery and the odd log I think a h14 is a bit ott. Unless going through a bog how often is it going to be needed, a few times a day at most.

The h14 also has the problem of the pro hanging low unless it's been turned already. Here's a pic of a husky and a h14. I can just lift the husky with rope. And I can just lift the h14 without 😃
