What's the best lb winch for a 3.5t 4WD? Lets RACE them.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Under load speed will be very different then no load speed. Need to chuck em on a steepish hill and do the same thing with the hand brake pulled on a few clicks

[@DanielKE7UUM]

As a recovery specialist, "speed" is not my thought.

[@mickjones9164]

Easy, the winch with the highest horsepower should be faster(provided the battery keeps up) gearing difference or snatch blocks will change speed (at the expense or benefit of line pull) but power is still power

[@peterj5751]

I’d say with real load on the 12000 would be quicker anyway as the 9500 will slow down a bit more. Thanks for the video because I am thinking about the same thing myself.

[@hardtop123]

only issue i can see in using a 12k winch is what the winch cradle is rated to....if its only rated to 10k, then a 12k will possibly bend/hurt the mount.....not to mention the legal (insurance) side of things.....just my thoughts

[@ryanmorrison340]

Great review mate! I will definitely get the 12000 after watching this cheers 👌🏼

[@r.i.pr.i.p4516]

Haha I reckon that’s the whole point of the vid mate. The 12000lb was being pushed to sell.

[@jarradblair1793]

If the winches where under load would get very different results

[@lukewilliams1518]

recognize the beachport caravan park

[@livenloud6697]

The Witches that usually pull the slowest have a better motor to turn ratio which makes them Pull stronger and harder . wenches don't necessarily need to pull quicker quicker or better. Kind of like you wouldn't use 4th gear to start off at a hill strat would you you would use first... afford this video of to John Cadogan and he can give these guy as a drill in thermal physics

[@W3TFART]

Wasn’t your spellcheck working ?

[@W3TFART]

Richie Krahe haha yeah I guess so

[@jimmyjimmy951]

Appreciate the test but kind of pointless given the real world use of a winch does not really take account of the differing recovery times in seconds. As long as it works, is reliable most are happy.

[@crawl4x410]

I still prefer a high mount with twin 6hp xp warn motor.

[@jackofjr]

Load em up , stand on the brakes , lock the wheels

[@boblye5298]

What brand and model is the high mount

[@DASHOffRoad]

Not sure sorry
