Winches

Andy4639 · 04-11-2012, 09:50 PM

Where and who has the best winch for the money. I want to put one on the front of the monster cart since I have the new receiver mounted.

Lets see them and details of where you got them, even though I don't think I will ever need it for mine, It would be nice to have to other's.

Andy, if it's just gonna be for show wait until HF or Northern has a coupon for a $59 2500# camo winch, and buy the warranty.......

For show... I don't think so!

You haven't looked at the CAW ride posts have you?

The HF 3,000# is a decent unit. That camo one is crap.

Im running a warn 2500 on mine

Mines a 3000 lb Champion from Tractor Supply.
I'll use it primarily for putting it in the toy hauler.

Just make sure to get one with a remote switch, those things do not like moisture. I put mine under the cupholder and then put the plug for the wand on the front of the cupholder.

I found a Chicago 3000lbs winch with Roller Fairlead locally for $80.00. It also has the mounting plate with it. It has all the hookups with remote. Used

What do you think? Says the cable has some breaks but I want the Synthetic Winch Rope anyway.

If you're going to replace the cable anyhow, why not? I'd stick with wire rope, personally. But a man does what is best for any given application, right? Synthetic would certainly save a pound or so. Every little bit helps!

I figured the rope would be a little less weight + it wouldn't cut into the tree's as much...maybe don't really know.
