ah. i know what your talkin bout. got a truck buried to the doors like that one time, just turning around. 12 hours later 2 trucks n a tractor an we were free. plus a $200 cleaning bill to clean my dads truck out. in those situations winches dont work, you have to be pulling from multiple angles.

 

what would be cool is if u bought like 6 winches and put one on each fender and one on front and back u would never get stuck cuz u could pull from all sides but it would be alot of wireing to go through lol

 

plus the extra battaries to run all the winches...

 

yup i kno it was just a thought tho cuz then u would never get stuck with all them winches on there

 

i agree. maybe if you get 4 2500 lb winches, you could put a car battery on the back rack and everthing would be find and dandy, plus you could pull yourself up a cliff. May have to try it...

 

Update the 4000 series winch wieghts a whole 3 pounds more than a 3000 lb serries 19- 21 lbs so no cylander block on the front of your bike. Found it in the new cabelas auto/atv catalog i just got in the mail....


So Heres my opinion buy the warn RT 4000 series winch and don't worry about getting stuck and play where ever you want.

 

ya that would be cool to try that out

 

My $0.02

Get the 2500-lb or the 3000-lb winch.... head over to Northern tools and get a couple of pulley blocks for $14 each and be done with it... I would think that 4000 pounder is heavier for sure. I see lots of people when out on the trail just using the winch straight up... its "OK" I guess.. But my winch is apart now to clean/regrease and it has seen quite a bit of winching this past year.. and everything looks REALLY Good inside! Thanks Warn!

only 3 lbs, I can take a crap and loose that much....

But on the other hand its proabably not worth the money.

 

Get a 2500-3000 and a ****** block plus a synthetic tow strap.
