Of the three answers given for the pulling power, two different answers were given. Does anyone know for certain what this winch is rated for?

MY winch is rated 1,500 lbs. & that is stamped into the steel of the sideplate.

This is a 12V battery, but for running even a small winch that still pulls ~40 amps I'd go for a bigger battery. This one is rated for 18 amp-hour (hinting it'll supply 18 amps for 1 hour, or 9 amps for 2 hours, etc) and I don't think it's a good idea to pull more than that 18 amp rating for more than a few seconds (like to crank a car).

This winch does not hold or lock in a position, you have to be winding or unwinding with the power button...example: if you lift the engine off the ground with the winch and let go of the "wind in" button the weight of the engine will unwind the winch...probably depending on the weight of the engine. I use it to pull small cars onto a car dolly and if I let off the button the car will roll backwards off the ramps...but it does work, just need to be carefull. I would use a better winch if you need to lift an engine off the ground and hold in that position...

It is used to reverse your pull and to double the pulling strength of a winch, etc. For instance if you are in a vehicle with a 9000 pound winch and are stuck you will have 9000 pounds of pulling power by hooking directly to a tree in front of you. If, however, you put a snatch block on/at the tree and run the cable through it and back to your vehicle you will then have 18,000 pounds of pulling power. You can also use it to change the direction of the pull. It is a terrific tool and I use them to retrieve huge lenths of logs that I have cut down and need to pull out onto the road where I can get to them with a trailer.

3200. Be sure u wind it so the load is on the back of the winch. I broke one but they replaced it.

I purchased a 2500lb atv winch from harbor freight for $59.00. I mounted it on the back of the rear rack of my quad. I removed the crank assembly and replaced with couple of small shackles. I attached the winch hook to the shackles. The winch came with a remote button so winch operation in and out is easy. It works great! John G

The winch handler you are talking about has extra holes drilled and it matched up fine with the 4500 lb winch I bought at tsc. even if it didn't, it would be easy enough to drill a couple holes to make it work fine. This handler has gone up a little compared to what I paid for it a month ago. it is still less expensive than buying off the shelf. if you have to pay shipping then it will just about be a wash.

That makes absolutely no sense. If you have a 12 volt winch hooked up to a car battery, why do you need a power supply to power the winch? You do realize that this converts 110 household current down to 13.8 volts, right?

We have this for our jeeps and my daughter's lifted GMC 2500 for changing tires. Hi lift jack used for times we are stuck and no anchor point for the winch. We have 35's on two of the vehicles. 31's on one of the jeeps.

I think it is a class III receiver hitch (up to 8,000 lbs). It accepts the normal 2x2" hitches into the receiver. The chain hook (for 3/8" chain) is intended for logging use. Logging chains are normally a 43 grade, which have a break strength at 5,400lbs for the 3/8" chain. This is a very well-made hitch! So far I've only used it mainly for lifting and dragging logs and moving one trailer across the yard, but am very pleased so far. I think your weight limitation might actually be your tractor! My tractor only weighs about 2,500lbs, so I need to be careful about how much I try to tow with it. :-) This is the attachment I use the most on my tractor, actually. I've found a number of other uses for the chains and hook when moving other things too. I was able to pick up a chicken coop and move that! Also useful for pulling things using a large D-ring on the receiver hitch, which works better than the hook with a chain. The hook is intended for lifting up, not towing, so a D-ring in the receiver hitch is great for pulling something attached to a chain/rope.

Yes, the winch handle serves to wind or lower the steel cable the hook is attached to. Be advised my cable broke on less than 200lbs of weight (made in China)...I replaced it with another manual winch and cable (also from Amazon, but made in USA)...not hard to do.

I would have to check the contact rating on the solenoid (80) and the amp draw through the winch at rated voltage. this info should be available on the winch

Not sure but you will need a mounting plate. The best advice I can give you is to spring for a better winch. Mine gave out the 3rd time I used it. The switch burned out under normal use

The control just runs the control wiring so I don't see why it wouldn't work with any type of solenoid on any brand of winch. Is controlled both forward and reverse.

Thank you for your inquiry. This winch is meant to connect to a 12 Volt Battery. I hope this helps answer your question. Renee - ProMark Offroad

The unit comes with a basic mountin plate that would have worked on my Mule, but the one I ordered was much heavier. If I remember right, the site also asked if I might be interested a mounting plate and it then listed the one for my mule. Beyond that you might want to contact the supplier by phone. Note: the winch is made in the UK.

I would say yes. If it struggles add a snatch block and double the pull strength . It is a great winch.
