winch gear reduction ratios

Becks Bear · Dec 23, 2007

hi
having spent a few months looking for a winch for my landy 90 i am about to buy one

however having looked at specs on loads of different models the only question i now have is the gear reduction ratio

i know it has to do with the speed of winch but which of the following ratios are better

or i an reading to much into the specs

265:2:1
156:1
187:2:1

many thanks

yes you are reading too much into the specs

just buy one which suits your needs and budget. if it doesnt last, you didnt spend enough or your ham-fisted

hi Griffdowg
thanks, i thought i was reading to much into the specs, but didn't want to buy a very slow winch
will now buy a T max 11000 winch, i think.................many thanks

most of the lowline electric winches have a similar line speed, this is all dependant on load/temperature/wire condition etc. if you want a quick winch buy the warn 8274
