ratty
I'm not special I'm limited edition
or just buy the correct rated winch and not expect an underpowerd winch to work harder hence increasing the risk of it giving up the ghost,
a disco stuck up to its axles in mud is going to be very difficlut to budge with a 4000lb winch no matter how many snatch blocks and straps you put on it
If it's to get you out the deep stuff (and I aint talking about mud) any winch is better than no winch. A smaller winch properly used can out-perform a larger winch used badly. If it's for every day use then yes I'd agree that the bigger the rating on the winch the better.
