If you have ever been on the trails pulling yourself back on your feet, you understand that the most important factor about tough situations is getting out of them faster. Winches are made for guys, who seem to always swerve towards the closest mud hole. We offer both hydraulic- and electric-powered winches in all sizes and designs to fill any winching need from 2,500 pounds of pulling power up to almost 20,000 pounds. Winches we sell are equipped with multiple gears that make the most out of each unit's ability and allow pulling at slower speeds when more control is needed or at faster speeds when rapid pulling is best.

What do you think about them?

 

Is anyone mounting them with a receiver hitch?

I've got a Warn that I am going to receiver mount so I can use it on my pickup possibly and my old Bronco.

I've been seriously thinking of doing that. I don't do a lot of off roading in my F-150 so I don't need or want to carry a winch around all the time. Also being able to pull from the rear as well as the front could be a huge advantage. My biggest concern is the weight of winch and cradle! Together you're looking at about 120 lbs and that's a lot of weight to be wrestling with in the mud. My knees are not as young as I once was and now they'd have a difficult time managing that even in good conditions. And it's not just an issue of moving it around but also picking it up and holding it in the air while trying to get the cradle tube into the receiver tube.

Anyone here have any experience with it? I'm thinking that grinding a 45d taper on both parts may help it go together easier. Thoughts or suggestions?
