Thanks in advance Ben The XP 6hp is excellent, been using them for a few years now with no problems. Never tried a bow-motor but read a few bad reviews.

Orgasmic Farmer Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 A quick search of this or any other forum should give you the answer to your question. In case you can't wait that long then the answer is similar to a windows operating system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Heard all the stories ,, but,, i have ran the Bowmotor on the Hybrid, burned one out, which was fair game !! part from that no problem,, OK, its 24volt but !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I bought a Bowmotor about 3 years ago , expecting a drastic transformation , But I was very dissapointed and went straightout and bought an XP and decided to keep the Bow for a spare , IMHO the standard 4.6 motor is stronger and faster than the Bowmotor , in 12v that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 90 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Forget the Bowmotor, The 4.6 warn is far better, The 6hp XP is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will_warne Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 As others have said the standard 4.6 is a superb motor - very quick at no load. The XP is also superb; they pull well, are cheap enough and easily available. I've got 7.8 hp motors to go on my winches but I'll go back to XP's if I have any issues.

Mo Murphy Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Bowmotor because I've got one and everyone else is voting for Warn motors Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I replaced the X50 motor on my 8274 with a Bowmotor when the original let the smoke out. Although the Bowmotor is unremarkable in speed or pull, it does seem to have lasted a long time. I have another X50 motor to put on when the Bowmotor gives up - but it just refuses to break! I'm going to run it on 24v - see if it will finally set the smoke free! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
