The above winch appears very similare to the T-max in terms of apperance and spec, though seems to be running a slightly less powerful motor.

It wouldn't surprise me if they were either produced to the same basic design or produced in the same factory with a different motor, electrics and set of lables.

Oh and mine are radio controlled.
You can still use the remote or hard-wire them but the radio remote works upto 50 metres away !

Its part of solenoid pack so doubt it. I will have a look when I get a minute and see if it can be done.

My remote that is almost certainly the same as the one Bullfrog sells, can be effectively switched off by a small switch on the solenoid pack, it's the same as item no 280079734191 you know where...... my little switch switches to either the wired remote, or the cordless one...... it's not very reliable though to be honest..... mine never works when i need it, so i'm gonna rig up a leccy window switch in the truck for winch 'in/out'.... and whilst mt solenoid pack is inside, i'm gonna wire the plug up so that it's on the front of the bonnet for when i need to be stood next to the winch.... if you get what i mean!

I actually got this winch remote the other day but I get the feeling the seller wasn't too happy about it as he's not left me any feedback yet :(

Good price though :wink:
