hi there
i am looking to buy a winch and winch bumper for my 90 harhtop county an was wondering if any one out there has any thing to offer ? i have seen a new champion 8000lb winch for £310.00 but i dont know if thats a good deal or not .
How often are you going to use it and for what, this has a big bearing on what you need to spend.
If you going to use it hard on a regular basis get best you can afford, if its occasional self recovery, pay and play etc. maybe get a cheaper one.
Just got a new 13000lb one off ebay for £195 and £180 for a new bumper, some will say buy cheap buy twice. its all about horses for courses.this is what i got for me money

I have heavy duty bearmach springs on mine and you can see the nose drop slightly when i put it in the bumper. Shouldn't be to hard to find out the weight but they are a lot heavier than i expected and a tubular bumper is not a lot lighter.

winches are scary
if you don't treat them with the respect required they can kill you, treated with the due respect they can save your life
I can't say I've ever used an electric winch. My dad had an engineering firm which mainly dealt with lifting gear for a long time so I've played with bits and pieces but never winches. I have this horrible image of trying to winch something resulting in the bumper being pulled off the front of the vehicle :doh:
