Hi guys
Firstly thanks a lot for all your follow up and input im sorry if i missed replying back to anyone
Iwent to the dealer today and after much discussion re benifits of a 9.5 verses a 10000 Warn the bottom line was they were more than happy to change it over ?
However a couple of points raised were that the 10 is a much stronger than 9.5 ie built with heavy motor and box also better sealed ??
they said they hear of a lot more 9.5 s with problems than you ever here with 10 + 12 15 ???
also not as much heat with 10 ?
also 9.5 more for comps where they want fast one line pulls ? where in real world a ten with a block not really a problem .
also if i was pulling a trailer or putting a slide on camper in tray which i might , then the 10 would be the way to go ?
Please bear in mind this is what i was told i my self dont have enough experience with winches to know if this is fact or not
I should mention that i would prefere to put on synthetic rope instead of wire
the thought was that the 10 has 11mm wire so change it to synthetic 12mm which has break strain of 16 000 kg (pos over kill) also change the fairlead to lighter synthetic which works better with rope ,and this would save me approx 14 kg all up but keep the 10000 winch what do u think ????? regards BLU
