what does the collective genius of the group think ?

seems too cheap to be true to me?

5.4 ton line pull for less than £250 notes?



cheers

Put a simalar one on my landy 90 12 mths later makeing funny noises then seized. supposed to be water proof, when i striped it down the com was a pile of rust cleaned it up then the clutch went next, same problem. as far as i am concerned you pay for what you get never do it again. 5.4 ton on first spool of wire. pay the extra and get hydrolic

thought mine was cheap at £325, 13k lbs pull. took two recomms off jimmy and farmer l200 off the oc - can`t fault it after a year and regular use at work - wire rope is starting to fray but that is prob inexperience early on.

they are still on the go and doing dyneema rope for £161! go check `em out - top buying experience for me and the winch has performed more much than adequately
