hi all

RECOVERY WINCH 12V 4x4 13000 lb WINCHMAX BRAND | eBay

has anybody had any experiences with one of these?
thanks brett

If you're going down this route, I'd say this is the better buy for an extra £95 with its synthetic rope:

ELECTRIC WINCH 13000lb 12V SYNTHETIC ROPE WINCHMAX | eBay

Why not repair the X9 ?

 

[SASBOB]

ive got one, decent bit of kit, gets well used and not let me down. Pay the extra though and buy the one with the rope instead of wire.

its quite old so i thought maybe it would be better to go for a new one!

i have only used it once in the 6 months i have had the discovery
so i may even change the winch bumper for a tubular non winch one

Do you want to sell it cheap? In broken condition?

I have no idea what's wrong with it, or even if it's repairable, but I want/need a winch and I've much more time on my hands than cash!!

buy cheap buy twice...its simple economics with winches

Depends what's broke and whether I can fix it, but I'd take a chance for the right price.

No you can't say that the 8274 you got was close to nicking it

The one I posted up went for just over £500

 

[gazdav]

Saying that I have got one now. It needs a rebuild badly but only cost £523 on flebay.
