Are those winch's you can buy on *auction site* any good?

These are the ones with the pressure washer and tyre pump built onto them.

Anyone had any experience?

oops, this may be in the wrong section, my appologises!

I wouldn't. A winch is a fairly complicated bit of kit, and if you start strapping extras on the side of it you increase the chance of it failing, plus to me the extras are only there to entice the buyer to buy something that isn't really fit for purpose in the first place.

I was hoping someone would say that, it seems like an awful lot for the main motor to run besides the winch.

I don't see it as a problem for a heavy duty winch motor to also drive a compressor to pressure wash or pump air into tyres, you wouldn't use all three functions simultaneously would you, simply select the output at the motors drive gearbox to what ever is required compressor or winch.

The description of the item will give u more info on the operation no doubt.

Its literally that, a selectable gearbox to drive each item.
