Winch advice please

[Deleted account DD]

Heres a subject Im sure will be quite close to many people and isnt vehicle type specific.

Id like a winch , manual, hydraulic or 12v.

However , it doesnt need to be heavy duty , it can not be permanently mounted bumper or rear. It and associated kit (what do I need?) takes up minimum space in the boot :thumb2

I know very little to nothing about whats available but Im sure theres people on here do :thumb2


oh and did I mention must be CHEAP

Recovery / Towing up onto a trailer

 

[extreme-4x4]

what do you want to use it for?. thats the most important thing

 

[Deleted account DD]

Potential uses for trailer & caravan but mainly light winching off road :thumb2

My "winch in a bag" will be ample :thumbs

Yes something along those lines :thumb2


Any other comments on it or experiences with one ?????????

 

[Adz]

No experience of the one above but they have a good right up in all the 4x4 mags :thumbs

Bought a 3 tonne super winch off colin which could be tow hitched or permanently fitted (is now)

Used on the tow hitch a few times & worked fine

On my front bumper now & has been used heavily with no problems :thumbs

Best bit if nobody else coments will be to you tube the one from ebay :thumbs

I think the winch in a bag may be a good option for me

 

[extreme-4x4]

you still got the bracket adz ?

although giving it some thought the one in the bag would work front and back
but you would want power to both then

the anderson plugs are the bit that will need some tidy fitting though once you have them your sorted for any winch. and many other camping applications

Its a shade under a tonne

BUT

If its only being pulled on hard ground it will cope with ease

I was only talking about winchs & what they can & cant do to tezzer yesterday :augie

D&G a local recovery firm have 2 tonne winches on all there 7.5 & class 2 lorrys so i take the imput from there boss quite highly.

All winchs are under rated to be safe & most cables are 3 tonne upwards braking strain for when using a snatch block :thumbs

Unless you need 1 to do serious off roading, i.e. through mud where your pulling against dead weight or winch challenge from what I've been told by D&G ( the boss who does 4x4 off road ) He said from 1 tonne to 5 tonne is ample for the average 4x4er used correctly :thumbs
