Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a relatively budget winch... this is my list so far...

Ideally I'm looking to spend £300... but I can stretch a little bit

opinions/recommendations?

Champion C9500SD Short Drum - £360



Champion C8000S - £240



Champion C9500 EWX - £355



WINCHMAX 13000 lb - £240



KEW 9000LB - £300



Superwinch LP10000 - £350



Superwinch LP8500 - £300

Ooooohh I like that short drum champion, how much winch rope does it hold?

Winchmax are a bit crap!

The short drum holds about 15m... the larger ones have 30m-ish
I could get a 15m strop

Is plasma rope smaller when wrapped around a drum?
Maybe I could get more length that way

twiss a mate of mines got plasma on his and you can get more on the drum
ive got a champion 6000lb (i now a 9000 would probably been better, but it means i dont have to rescue bland r****s) its been a few years now and ive had no probs with it so i recomend them
the son-in -laws got 1 aswell and no probs there either

i say i dont have to rescue those things but 1 time i had to pull a bloke out of a river and the winch got the both of out at the same time

Well I've heard some bad things about winchmax and superwinch....
James may managed to break his on top gear with a couple of bumps!

I like the Champion C9500 Short drum, looks really good but I think it would look silly on my bumper
I think I will be going for the Champion C9500 EWX... 30m cable to begin with... much faster than the superwinches as well

Then at a later date I will put a short drum one in the back

That should do the trick

or this

Winch the HMS Ark Royal out of the sea? No problem!

Oh wait, they've already done that

more like HMS Ark Royal will be winching you out the sea
