I had a 8000lb one in Sweden last year and got well stuck, the winch happly dragged 2 rangies backwards (using them as anchor points) instead of me forward   :(bigsmoke):

now have a 9000lb winch  :(shades):

I run a Warn 8274 with an XP motor, and I can make that stall if I try hard enough.... there will always be a time when the winch isn't man enough.. but for most purposes 8000 - 9000 lbs is a good size.

:D For £50.00 thats a bargain, even if it doesnt work. And it wont cost the earth to get running again. Got your self a good winch if it does work, you just need a winch bumper to go with it.... :wink:

It'll be really really useless.  It won't be any good to you at all.  You don't need it.   Tell your mate I'm feeling generous and will take it off him for the fifty quid asking price.   :D   :wink:
