Winch

I know this has been done to death in other threads. Warn seems to be the way to go....But i am only goig to use it for pulling out the odd tree so it can be cut with the chainsaw. Might pull the landy out if it gets stuck. So to the question would one of the following be any good.

correct.....

Ok i take the point but i do not want to spend over a grand for somethig that might get used three times a year.

If you want mine you can have it!
I got one same as the second one in the link (13000lb one).....
Lets just say the former owner bought and fitted it, and it has never worked since I've had the RRC...it is just ballast on the front. motor is crap, solenoid box looks like lego inside...only rusty and fooked!
I had thought about buying a replacement box for it...but it just aint worth it. too many other things wrong with it.
Personally I think you'd be better off with a hand operated winch

I agree with you there. If you buy 4 cheap 13000lb winches and break one a year, you're still better off than a warn. Mate of mine payed £60 for a 12000lb winch 5 years ago and it was used then. It's still going strong after towing full skips across the grass with no wheels on amongst other things.

Food for thought. Thanks for the info there is one on fleybay at the moment so will have a look at it

have set a realistic reserve as i know how much its worth

In everyday use we find that warn winches wear out long before Superwinch winches do. We have a hydraulic warn winch on one of our 14 ton trucks that is cream crackered after less than 6 months. It's the third warn winch on that truck (56 plate) and the truck is rarely used as it's the assitant managers truck. It only has summit like 80,000km on it.
