Young bobtail Rhys Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 The standard 12v 8274's specs are as follows; Line Pull Lbs.(Kgs.) Line Speed FT./min(M/min.) 0 73.4(22.4) 2000(910) 22(6.71) 4000(1810) 12(3.66) 6000(2720) 9.50(2.90) 8000(3630) 6.10(1.86) If upgraded to an xp motor, what do the specs then look like? I am looking to buy an 8274 and the xp motor, but would like to know how much difference the xp motor would actually make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 30% faster no load line retrieval speed and markedly better under load never actually measured it but it would snap ropes before stalling the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young bobtail Rhys Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Ok cheers Tony, I would conclude that as a very worth while upgrade then I will see what kind of deal I can grab at billing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Also recommend getting a Gigglepin mainshaft upgrade if going for the XP. Nothing worse than being stuck with a broken mainshaft, except having the brake let go and you careering down a hill backwards, waiting for the impact.

will_warne Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Just to throw the cat among the pigeons I never had issues with the standard mainshaft on my 8274-50 with XP. That might be because I had the winch from new and it wasn't very old but it did get used regularly and quite hard. That said, the mainshaft offers several other improvements apart from higher strength. The XP motor is superb BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 quite regularly really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Regularly is different to frequently Tony I pay my tax bill regularly - once a year without fail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 my std mainshaft broke (had it from new) with an XP fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 my std mainshaft broke (had it from new) with an XP fitted. Hmmm motor envey My old one wasn't able to blow up my old winch but new ones are bigger than yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydiesel Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 never actually measured it but it would snap ropes before stalling the motor You carn't be trying hard enough tony, i've stalled the xp on my 8074 out a few times. I have never run anything weaker than 1/2" plasma 12 on it though! Hmmm motor envey My old one wasn't able to blow up my old winch but new ones are bigger than yours The 7.8's are even faster than the 6hp's. mine seems a little more powerful than the 6hp, but more importantly it slows less under load.

You remeber the one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
