Winch Recommendation

Indeed it is more expensive. But quality costs. Also the rope is made of true Dyneema, unlike most other cheaper winches with synth rope.

Mine was just about £700 but came with lots of extra s with it battery cut off, remote etc etc you pay for what you get

You need a good quality battery with high CCA. Numax are good budget batteries for winching.

So Winchmax is a cheap chinese winch eh TomDK

They also make mlitary spec as supplied to the US army for the Iraq conflict

see ebay number 151299988055

They can't be that bad

Ok, as a newbie to off roading and what I really want to enjoy is green laning, how often do you actually use your winch?

I know this is a 'how long is a piece of string' question, but for green laning, does it get used that often that you need top end?

Now I'm all for buying quality products, I do it with everything in life, but if I can buy a good quality winch that will pull me out of trouble on the odd occasion and do it well then I'm happy. But if you tell me from experience I need high end products then I will consider it.

I posted the following link because I thought it was a great price, it seemed to get decent reviews and I didn't think in reality it would get used that often.

And another question, do I then need a different battery?
