Winches

Sorry folks, I said Winches not Wenches.

Fitting a Winch bumper next week, Just looking at Possible Winches, Has anyone used either of the following (They seem mighty cheap for 13000lb Winches:

Metal Cable Model - £259.99 plus shipping
ELECTRIC WINCH 12V 4x4 13000 lb WINCHMAX BRAND | eBay

Synthetic Cable Model - £359.95 plus shipping:
ELECTRIC WINCH 13000lb 12V SYNTHETIC ROPE WINCHMAX | eBay

Also, Is it really worth £100 more for a Synthetic Rope model?

You get what you pay for.

If you want a winch to get you out of the schtuck occasionally, a sub £300 will be fine.

If you want to use it for hardcore offroad, recovering yourself multiple times eveyr trip out, you'd find it wont last that long.

On the cheaper winces, they seem to have smaller motors geared down more, so they are slower, but will pull the required load.

Synthetic is worth it all day long, safer, easier & easier to handle, have a look on youtube for comparisons of snapping steel or synthetic. or look for an empty winch and get your synthetic rope elswhere.

buy cheap buy twice......

I have a Superwinch Husky 8 on mine. Very good winch, just a bit slow.

But that's a £900 or so winch new, as has been said you get what you pay for.

Thanks for the input guys
