The power cord looks kind of light weight. I would be a little leery of the claimed capacity. I don't know anything about wenches so I may be wrong. Terry |

Don't know why no but read carefully regarding the capacity it is only around 3,500 lbs. Those higher numbers are for rolling weight. |

yeah it's rated as 3500 lb of dead pull power... it doesn't look that beefy. 10,500 lbs of rolling load power. I guess you can pull a vehicle that weighs that much as long as it's rolling 11,000 lbs of marine power. I guess this means you can pull a 11,000 lb boat that's floating in the water? LOL, I wonder what all those ratings mean? A friend of mine used to have one of those that had a pretty tough time pulling my 4x4 Aerostar van up a slight incline. |

I would say thats made to put on the front of a trailer to pull the boat up onto the trailer. |

Yes that is very similar to a ATV winch! Only 3500lbs capacity but will pull 10500lbs if the load is on good working rollers!I agree, go with a warn and spend you money right the first time if you really need a winch. Honstly I think you would be better off spending that winch money on a set of lockers to help elimate you from getting stuck iin the first place! Josh |
