Badland 5000lb Winch - Can it Pull a Heavy SUV Onto the Trailer

[@danielsmith2447]

I thought you might have had insufficient battery power, I had a 2500 pound no name winch on my trailer and it would pull most vehicle, I got one of these 5000 pound badlands and it has pulled everything I have tried including a 3/4 ton diesel. The key is a good battery, I use a deep cycle marine battery.

Always use a block to dubble the pull, it's just so easy on everything.

[@Mr62biscayne]

I have one of those for other purposes but good to know it is capable of doing this.

[@swappedoutZ71]

I have a badlands 5500 and it pulled a chevy suburban on my trailer just fine. You may need longer ramps or something to help with your pulling angle.

[@swappedoutZ71]

Also my ramps are like yours but they are designed upside down so there are no valleys for tires to fall in

Standing next to the cable during operation is very dangerous.

[@aDIYCarGuy]

This is a low tension thing, very low danger. If it was a more powerful winch and an extremely heavy vehicle that was impossibly stuck, then yes it would be dangerous to be near the cable.

[@adamr8628]

@@aDIYCarGuy Looks like plenty of tension to cause injury with that kind of weight! But only saying that so people will be careful.

[@toddpeters9007]

If the cable snaps it will kill u , be careful please

[@jacobrusso9522]

Just an FYI. You should definitely give it a break more often when straining so hard. It's terrible for longevity

[@melgoy2094]

thats why most come with a remote bad place to stand

[@aDIYCarGuy]

the little winch could never put enough tension on the line to snap it, in other cases with more power yea bad spot to stand

[@211dabomb]

The little winch that could

[@aDIYCarGuy]

It really is! It's pulled many other heavy things onto the trailer, and off using a snatch block

Hi mate Could l hear you further from email

[@Mr.SuperDuper-idk]
