I've bought the winch bracket and now need the winch to go into my Sovereign bar. There is piles of info available on winches, though little is really objective so it's hard to form strong conclusions.
But, from looking over threads on PP I think I've worked out:
1. 9000 lbs is enough
2. Go for synthetic rope and light winch to keep the weight down as the 120 chassis is a bit weak at the front (true?)
3. Make sure you spool rope off and back on regularly under load to help keep the winch working well and to dry it out. (I've never had a winch before so don't really know what I'm talking about......)
I'm thinking about the new Gunshot from Premier - about $1250 but can't find any info on weight.
Or the VRS V9500s Water Proof - about $1050
But the interesting one is the Sherpa Colt - which is very light (23 kg) with synthetic rope and well priced ($729) - but can't find much info on them.
Anyone got any info or have one of these?
