Hello all ..

I'm looking for winch options .. need to be huge, and when I was shopping around for a nice 16.5Ti from Warn I found that Superwinch also make one 16.5 winch ..

that's sound great in numbers .. and in price too ( which it's a number after all ) but wonder about the croud experience with this winch ..?

thanks !

Hi All:

David, I know a couple of guys that have had good success with the smaller EP9000.

If you want a serious recovery winch to pull-out your 60 Series consider the SuperWinch Husky series worm-gear winch:

Husky 10 10,000 lbs Husky Series 4x4 - Superwinch

Regards,

Alan

hello Josie which it's the main difference between this one and the regular electric winches ? ( need to search .. but bit lazy right now )

Hi All:

David the Superwinch EP 16K is a planetary gear electric winch.

The Superwinch Husky winch is a worm drive electric winch.

The worm drive electric winch is more industrial, like found on a tow truck. It is designed to pull all day long (if not very fast.)

Regards,

Alan

I'm not really worried about the line speed coz my Tencha isin't a competition truck .. what I'm intersted it's get a winch that actually can pull my ass out of everything .. it's also about the winch quality to hold the abuse ..
