sorry forgot to add seen in on e bay just type in " 13000lb winch " there is 2 versions on offer one had wire other is rope for a little extra cost . where in somerset are you located??

9000lb minimum, but IMHO if you're buying a budget winch a 12000lb will do you better cos they have a larger gearbox usually.

Been covered many times BUT it's still worth buying quality second hand than new ****.

And definitely buy synthetic rope where possible, far far superior.

Cheers

yes agree with you on that but worked out quite good as these are a class winch and was lucky that was able to change cable as we make our own in work so was changed when i fitted it and seems to work very well as same as a super winch but lots cheaper lol

who told you they were a class winch?

DARREN4040 · Sep 29, 2011

have used this winch in the recovery trade and always been a good tool to work with . have you had problems with this brand ??
always found they have a good spare parts back up and never had a failure if looked after well . but this is from a pro series as know they have a budget range as well but not sure what they are like ??
