Which winch is best

I have used and fitted a OX Hydraulic winch and can't fault them! !!!! PULL ALL DAY ! I find the 10 000 lb a better one has a thicker cable and seems to work easier but that depends on what vehicle you are putting it on ! I have a 9000lb Warn Electric which was on my car when i got it !, but i would never buy one !! For starters most batteries don't have the snot to run an electric winch !, i run a tripple management system with Delkor calcium batteries which work OK, but 90% of batteries will only run them about 50% of possible output !, Sure there rope speen is better but you are ment to rest a electric winch every 5 mins of operation so it dos'nt get to hot !!! and as for the people that say "but you can't run the winch if the engine's not going " this is corect but if you have an electric winch with out the engine going it would only pull for a couple of min's !!! and if that is enough to get you out it most definatly won't start your car !
Hope that helps !!! HYDRAULICS ARE PROVEN WORLD WIDE !

I currently own a 9000lb warn electric low mount winch it worked well for the first few times but now i wish i had purchased a hydraulic winch as the electric one died a premature death even though it was regulary seviced and cleaned. It has recently been totaly rebuilt but will still only run at 75% power even though it is backed by three new extreme duty batteries. The only problem that i have been told of with hydraulic winchs is that your winch will stop when you turn the steering wheel

Hydraulic winches have a valve that prioratise you steering !!!...... hence your winch will not stop but slow unil you get your steering straight !
Good Luck !
