Title: What winch?
Post by: Sharpshooter on January 21, 2007, 13:23:58: Hi everyone. Its my birthday in a couple of weeks. And hopefully ill be getting a winch.

Question is. What size or prefered winch should i get. I have been offered a Huskey for just under Ã‚Â£300 in very good condition. But i think its an 8000lb model. Is this man enought for my 110?

If not what do people suggest. Or do you have one for sale.

No Ã‚Â£1000 ers please. :)

Thanks Guys and Girls.

plenty of power in it and never let me down yet.

pay the extra Ã‚Â£Ã‚Â£ and buy a decent branded one...no point in having cheap rubbish that lets you down when you need it!

Post by: extreme90 on January 22, 2007, 21:59:55: put it this way, it was std fitment on camel 110's and discos :wink:
and there was only the 8000lb model out at the time :wink:
ive got a huskey on the arse end of my 90 with a 4.6 bolted to the box
yes it slows down alot more than any other winch, put when others die they huskey keeps going.........and going..........and going.........and going......then the solenoids start to smoke.......but it keeps on goin and goin and wont stop until you let go of the button
i cannot fault the huskey
and ino a trick of how to speed up a huskey to the speed of 5ft a min ful load :wink:
but its not a good idea for lowering then so i didnt do it :lol:
huskey and also
its served paul proud for the past 3 or 4 years at challenges
and mines served me proud for the past 5 years, (was on disco before hauling its heavy ass and a 1.5t boat up a beach)
