2006年6月22日 · It was $300, and I bought the 2 year warrany ($30?) which I haven't used. I did buy a Mile-marker canvas winch cover for $15, and I keep it covered. I would recommend shortening the winch cable if used as a dedicated trailer winch. I need to do this, but haven't gotten around to it.

2014年7月7日 · I mounted the winch on a plate with a arm welded on the back. I then welded a pin through the arm and a handle above the winch. I drop the pin into whichever hole is in front of my load and make the pull. Everything loaded, the winch unplugs from the power cord and is stored away. This way you don't have to move anything to get at the winch.

2025年1月22日 · Never had an issue of it not working and I think it was on special for $250 when I bought it. The nice part of my setup is the winch mounted inside my bumper and a receiver hitch below it. This allows me to pull a car onto any trailer from the front of my truck, easily park the car and slowly lower it from the trailer.

2007年4月18日 · But I just got an electric winch at Northen for 70 bucks. I added a heavy duty lighter plug in to the cord and just plug it into the truck heavy duty lighter socket. It also works off my bed generator. The winch is portable in that it has a …

2010年1月16日 · I use a 3000# winch to pull my 2700# streetrod into the gooseneck. I does not even groan. Get a winch at least the weight of the car. Nothing like having the cable break half way up and have to chase a runnaway car. I like to put a heavy jacket or blanket over the tow line. It will slow down the cable if it breaks.

2005年1月22日 · Ok, I have a fullsize Bronco with a Warn 9500 winch. I would like to know what the amp draw would be under load, as in winching up hills. I will be running dual Napa orbitals or dual Optimas with a 100 amp alt. Will this alt. be enough to keep the batteries charged while winching? I also have 1/0 welding cable for battery cables.

2010年3月7日 · I had a 4500lbs winch on my car hauler. Was fine for light trucks, but it's really on the edge when you tow a heavier truck or a car with blocked wheel/axle. I'd rather go with a 8 or 9k winch and a good battery setup.

2005年12月20日 · It works beautifully so far - and I will NEVER own another trailer without a winch, period. My first trailer winch was one of those $59 Harbor Freight winch-in-plastic jobbers. It claimed 6k rolling pull, but the thermal overload would trip several times just pulling a car up the ramps. And that was with a snatch block for double line use.
