So does that mean it wont hold a load on a hill etc. without a brake?gobucs1 said:Own one, got it for [email protected] www.winchesplus.com It is a big winch and can pull but will stall, and like everything fail. I have stalled mine some times. Also it has no brake only a clutch.
Other way around brogobucs1 said:Well you dont need a snatch block, and I hope you never pull out more that 50 feet of cable. The more cable out the weaker the line pull is. Use chain or heavy rope.
Yea, thats true. I'll prolly go warn. :shrugseboh said:Well, I think you've answered your own question, then. The M12k is selling for $970 right now. That's not too bad. Figure for the price difference, you're getting 25' more cable, true 12000# pulling power, AND A BRAKE.
Besides, $569 + $144 (for the snatch block you'll need) +$56 (for the line extension you'll need) = $769. That's only a $200 price difference... I guess that's what a brake would cost, eh?
(A winch with no brake is pretty useless for lowering trucks down Guardrail, too)
Going to need a snatch block on that MM winch if it's going to be a competitive purchase with the Warn.... otherwise we might as well debate whether you should drop $1k on a Warn or $65 on a 2ton Powr-Pull hand winch from Home Depot.gobucs1 said:Well you dont need a snatch block, and I hope you never pull out more that 50 feet of cable.
