12,000lb Winch + Pressure Washer

[AliV]

I saw this on eBay while looking for winches: RECOVERY WINCH WITH PRESSURE WASHER 12V 12000 lb | eBay

It appears to be a generic winch with a pressure washer built into it, looks like a great idea so I no longer have to shovel mud off my driveway after washing the 110 down.

Does anyone have any experience with these, are they any good?

how many cables out the back

I see 4 earths and 2 lives!!

 

[Trailpug]

more cable, i take it means problems all round????

surely you'd have to carry a hell of a long hose for the pressure washer around with you to get all the way down both sides of the motor? And you'd have to have a water source so chances are you'd end up doing it at home anyway?

It might draw its own water - I am not sure. It looks like a good idea though but it depends on how well put together it is.

Looks very suspect if you ask me

No mention of its capability of drawing water from a barrel, if it cant do that then its not a lot of good.

i'd rather chuck a fiver in a jet wash machine or run the hose to the back of my house!

I've just asked the supplier of this winch/pressure washer if it needs a pressurised water supply and here's the answer;

Hi, thanks for your question. The pump does not need a pressure feed, it can draw water from a barrel, it also self primes. Best regards, Rupert.

So there we have it (from Rupert no less!).

Can't see that being any good

Trying to fill a gap in the market that doesn't exist IMO.

Means jack ****, probably better throwing the barrel of water over the landy :lol:

Agreed

to be fair to it, and to prevent the naysayers from berating what could be something that works...

its only a self priming pump... not exactly hard to get wrong!

Could work perfectly well for all we know.
For a couple of hundred notes, if it pulls you out of the **** just a few times..its paid for itself as far as im concerned.

sod it... tell you what ill buy one ... Then ill do a review of it ok?

Quick question though... won't you need a really long pressure hose in order to get around the landy?

 

[chunkymunky]

To be honest you could park by a stream. Two lengths of hose and a brass nozzle on the one. If it gets most off before the trip home be useful enough. Hell on a pay and play site could wash all the vehicles down for a donation to chosen charity

 

[vilguy]

my only concern about it is using it in the winter... What if some water is left in it and it freezes...

will order one early next week when i get paid
