How you doin Jason. Still thinking about crab holes?

• Dual Bowmotors in either 12 or 24 volt give a combined output of 11 HP giving
exceptional power to pull hard and fast whenever the going gets tough
• Twin speeds give a high ratio of 119:1 for fast pulling across mud and a slightly lower ratio of 164:1 giving tremendous pulling power when winching up steep banks. A simple push/pull lever selects the speed

• All gears are induction hardened other than the last intermediate gear (35mm
wide teeth) and the final output gear (50mm wide teeth!) which are case hardened

• Efficient lever operated freespool direct drive into winch drum, making the
pulling off of the Dyneema-Bowrope (or wire rope) a joy

• The aluminium gearbox casing has level, drain and filler/breather plugs
• There is a choice of drum widths. The standard large flanged 216mm drum
takes 125 feet (38m) of 12mm Dyneema-Bowrope and an optional extra special wide drum which takes 175 feet of 12mm Dyneema-Bowrope
• The rope, either Dyneema-Bowrope or wire, is easy to secure to the drum with a grub screw at a right angle to the rope end

• Both drums rotate in 65mm roller bearings with twin ‘V’ ring seals each side to keep water out and the clean grease in, along with grease nipples on the top of each aluminum drum support. Proven design for efficiently from the original G10 and G12 planetary winches

• To strap the two drum supports together there are 3 tie rods well clear of the drum to not only hold the roller bearings perfectly square, but also to stop any loose rope from ‘going over the top’

• A disc brake is fitted to the right hand end of the drum and operates as a fail
safe system. The drum comes to a halt very quickly when releasing the in/out
hand control button

• A special oil has been developed for the upright twin speed vertical spur Gearbox to allow for all hot and cold climate conditions

• The spur gearbox can be fitted either vertically for the front of all 4x4s or
horizontally backwards for low profile rear mounting

• Two heavy duty Albright solenoid sets are provided in an enclosure, one for
each motor

• The no-load line speed is about 85 feet per minute in high gear and 60 feet in
low gear. Pulling capacity in high gear is 10,000lbs and low gear 12,000lbs

Oh thats neat. WOuld be interested in knowing the price.

Also Good to see a real alternativve to Warns Himount. As I heard a rumour a couple of weeks back that the moulds for the Warn Product have not been upgraded in lots of years and there is little interest from the factory to make new moulds. So since they are starting to show ware. They arnt sealing as well.

Its a nice winch and sounds like it has all of the bells and whistles but $7000. :shock: . I will stick with the good old trusted 8274.
