Hey guys ,I'm new to this and I was wondering if a blaster had enough power to operate a winch. I live in a place where anywhere you go theres mud so I can't get stuck all the time -Anything will help- thanks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

You're joking....right?

No, your blaster will not have enough electrical power to work a winch. Some battery powered quads have a hard enough time[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] If you want a winch, need to look at a different quad. Sorry to break the bad news to you[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

i wouldnt do it personaly but if was in the same situation i would get a hand crank like on a boat you know but thats just an idea

 

The blaster won't be able to make enough power for a winch. Like already said, you could get a hand crank winch.

I laughed when I saw this sitting at the local powersports shop, but if you're really hellbent on an electric winch it could be done. What I saw was a car battery strapped in a 6 pack rack to power the winch. Keep in mind that it'll only work for so long before it gets drained, it'll look hillbilly-ish, it'll add additional weight and take up space, and that you'll have to recharge it periodically. It's definitely a last-resort solution.

 

Hillbillyish? You must be one a them Yankee varmits!

 

get a manual powered one.;.. it's more like the thing on boats than a normal winch

 

As light as blasters are, it would probably be easier to push or pull the blaster out. Than to strink the winch line then go back to quad operate winch.

 

well blasterboy so far it seems like everyone is using my idea with the manual cranks so y dont you just do that it sure would be a hell of a lot easier

 

I was thinking about getting a manual crank winch for my warrior. Sure, an electric winch would work for me, but there's too many downsides. You have high cost, excessive weight, possibility of draining the battery and leaving me stranded, and a permenantly mounted winch will only pull from the front. A hand crank\hand ratcheting winch is cheap, lightweight, and you can hook it over either the front bumper or the back bumper, depending on which way is going to be easier to get you unstuck.
