Hello, I'm looking for a winch I can hook up to the ball on my trailer and pull cars up onto it. I have a small portable winch that does the trick but it's taken a beating and it times out a lot more than it ever has. I'm looking for a good replacement. Anyone have any suggestions? My budget is only about $200, otherwise I'd get a solid mount winch...
TIA
I may get flamed for saying this but, best bang for the buck would probably be the harbor freight family of winches. I also think you can get the HF remote control for all of them. This really is a nice feature when loading cars on a trailer.
You will find that there is no "flaming" here on the Forestry Forum. Those that do might find themselves being "former" members. :D
Yes the Harbor freight 12k winch is on sale again for 286.99 with the coupon. Probably not going to beat that price....9k on sale too for 249.99.
I knew there was a reason I barely browse any other forum. :)
And it is only $40 for the wireless remote package for it.
Actually there is one "Northern" company that does not get welcomed here. They were caught stealing designs and marketing knockoffs of some of a FF Sponsor's log handling products. smiley_thumbsdown
