Winches

Whats the price diff??

You can always use the snatch block for a recovery if the price diff is that excessive!!

You would never stall a 9000 on a twin line pull

Matt.

neither is powerfull enough for a cruiser 100. 10k is bare minimum and then you are talking double pull for a decent bog 12k would be more like it
personal experience

have you considered hydraulic winches

The $400 extra is not just for the 500lb extra in pulling capacity. Check the specs which will show a far superior line speed at lower power use, particually unladen which helps avoid bird caging from over run when assisting the pull by driving. The 9.5 is probably the best recreation winch for the 100 series as above that the size & weight of the winch increases allot requiring heavier front springs etc. Both will pull the Cruiser out of the majority bogs double blocked. Even the 12K Warn would struggle to pull a 100 series single blocked if seriously stuck.

aeiou, First check to see if the XP 9.5 will fit into your bullbar. The winch motor is too long to fit into an 80 series ARB Deluxe bar. The XP9.5 has a 6hp motor against the XD9000 4.8hp.
On spec, weight is close to the same 40/39 Kg for the XP9.5 / XD9000.
