Any experience of Tmax winches

[scraggs]

I have been offered what seams like a pretty good deal on a Tmax EW9000 winch and a search on here only pulls up one mention of them.

Looking through google it appears they are a bit like marmite.

I just wondered if anyone on here had any experience of them, and if so what was your opinion of them ?

I currently have my eyes on a s/h warn aswell, I am not really interested in a PTO winch, but the tmax comes with a pretty substantial tubular new winch bumper.

Hi Keith if a motor goes on a 8274 there cheap if it goes on a t max you have to get a motor off them that's no good thanks Jon

I had a Tmax on my old defender seemed a pretty good piece of kit it didn't get a vast amount of use but when it was used it was used properly and never failed.

The winches them selves are pretty good for the money, its the solenoid pack that usually causes grief. Easily fixed by buying a solid state solenoid pack, which aren't very expensive these days (£40?).

Reference winches.....I'll be looking for a winch at some stage. If you do a google search on winch tests then you can see how they perform against each other with some performing bad and making a poor effort.

 

All this to say the magazines that test seem to use the same benchmark within the testing arena.

 

Have a look here and you'll see they are well tested indeed. What ever make one is looking for I'm sure you can come across the same standard test to see what's what?

 

 

 

 

Some winches really are terrible.....
