SuperWinch?

Anyone running a SuperWinch? Opinions??

My son ran one briefly until it died. He disassembled it to see if it could be repaired and once he saw how it was made, he decided it was not worth the trouble.

Hi All:

Superwinch electric winches were used for several years in the Camel Trophy off-road series, so they are big with the Land Rover crowd.

I have had a Superwinch X9 9,000 pound electric winch for the last 9 years on my FJ40. The only real problem I have experienced is corrosion inside the electric motor, causing some problems with the brushes.

They are a stout winch, but with a slower line speed than many other electric winches, especially in comparison to the Warn M8274.

Regards,

Alan

The Superwinch Husky is an awesome winch.

The older S/X series have a good base, but suffer from some electrical issues which can e remedied. They may have improved those parts on the newer stuff. The Husky motor also bolts on there for more power.

The new EPI series looks very nice...

hmmm.. in my experience, england + electricity = problems

probably having them on the Land Rovers so much has rubbed off on them
