siggy Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 as a complete numpity about winches which is better THIS or THIS I am not intending to buy or bid but what is better the tonnage rate or the poundage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 number 1 is no use on a Land Rover Number 2 is a budget model similar to the T-Max range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 A minimum of 8000lb/3000kg/3 tonnes capacity for any LR other than Freelanders a 6000lb would be OK for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siggy Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 was trying to work out the difference in the descriptions i.e. *****lbs and ***tonnes if I was ever to buy one (i haven't a clue about these things) there are so many different descriptions etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 well 2.2lbs is 1kg so you can figure it out 8000lbs is a normal rated winch for a 4x4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 1 is sh&te 2 is poor qulaity Phone PG winches Buy an ex 2nd hand 8274 / PTOP 525 or series 500 / H14 and smile from then on... A cheap winch / poor quiality / budget winch has no 2nd hand value and is just false economy.... If you decide to ignore this advice, you will remember it when you most need the winch and the cr^p you bought fails you Better to buy a QULAITY 2nd hand winch than a POS new one............. Sorry but that is truly the way it is..... Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguevogue Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 If one were to be looking for a "budget" winch then the superwinch EP9 range are the best value on the market at the moment and the cone brake seems to be well thought out.IMHO That said there is a lot of mileage in getting a second hand 8274 for not much more money and knowing that it will last much longer than you'll ever want it, if you look after it.

BogMonster Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Wondered how long before a winch argument could be started on this shiny new forum [can of fuel in hand, fire well ablaze, coat on, door open] Naah you don't want electric winches, too much noise, flat batteries, blow up all the time, get a Milemarker I'll shut the door on the way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigels is superb As are the PTO ones MM are mmm like galvanising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJL Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I cant believe you electric boys are still so disillusioned especially Mr.Cordell who after many electrickery upgrades still needed to call in hydraulic (pictures posted recently) nicely done HFH . good job you'd only got two ground anchors how far did u pull Will & Mr. Bosh?? Good job you were there otherwise a certain very well equipped (other than winch choice i might add!) Exmoor based 90 might have been swallowed by Slindon mud and still stuck now, with dead battery & smoking Albrights When will you all admit to bogmuncher and my lead and get the Milemarker??? Milemarker Slow but Sure!!! Pull Pull Pull and then Pull the Other one Oh and Husky's are girls winches arnt they? Sorry Tony i couldnt resist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
