but if the controller was marked with in/out and he just put it on backwards then the motor will still have been going the right way just the cable will have spooled over not under, probably fouling the fairlead on the way in.
well lets hope so eh

yeah ive still been using the winch so that i use the "in" button for winding the winch in and visa versa... ive flipped it around and hooked it on some railings at work and it pulled the landy far easier than before so fingers crossed im good to go! thanks people
sounds like you were lucky, bet you are glad you posted now

.had some great fun yesturday till i got well and truley stuck in very thick mud! ive got a champion 12000 winch on the front of my 300 90 and it wouldnt do anything! theres me thinking that a 12000 winch should be able to pull me out of anything am i wrong is it possible that there is a fault with the winch as bought secondhand and it looks quite old?

Hi Buxtonous,
To be honest, the LR doesn't look that stuck, and I am surprised a 12k lbs winch couldn't pull you out, even at a strait line pull.
Sure, the mud sucks you on, but, it's not that bad, really.
I would tend to think the winch isn't working properly, perhaps for a combination of reasons.
A 12000 lbs winch, in proper working order, proper leads, good healthy battery, would drag that LR out no effort.

Stu, thats exactly what I said,
There is a problem with the winch or some thing.
That little bit om mud would no way hold you back.
