Superwinch X6

[sotal]

I got a Superwinch X6 winch as part of a deal a couple of years ago, I was swapping some parts and I had plans to put it on the front of my series 2A

but I've never got round to it and I found it it's 24V, so I'd need to rig up a second battery.

So it's taking up space in the garage, so I was going to put it on Ebay, what sort of price should I expect, it looks good but used and has the solenoid pack as well.

and on a second note how good is it? Would it be good enough to pull a series 2A out which weighs approx 1400kg?

Thanks

Not much cop IMHO, the only one I know of here was burnt out trying to pull a vehicle up hill on the road and I went off them after that... bear in mind that most electric winches won't pull their rated load for long and 6000lb isn't much of a rated load to begin with

May be OK if double lined I suppose.

probably best to bang it on ebay then, any idea of worth?

Does it being 24v make it any better or worse? Other than the obvious fact that most vehicles are 12v?

I suspect the 'market' comprises those people wishing to pull loads onto the bed of a trailer or flatback lorry.

Car recovery springs to mind, where even if we derate from 6000lb Absolute maximum to 3000lb Working maximum it would seem OK to pull a broken car onto the loadbed.

The lorry world would have the 24V available.

Prices I can't give, but now try searches in various places looking for winches for this pupose, to find if what you have fits, and what others ask for.

Good Luck.
