Thanks for that mate,just the video I was looking for. Seems to work well

I have a perfect, but slightly different application. I am almost embarrassed I never thought of using this approach before to help me drag a car I have up and down its current ramped resting place. Thanks for sharing this idea. I’m excited to get one and end the need to ask friends over to help push.

Nice demonstration man I’ll sure be installing one on my winter beater in case I get stuck on snow I’ll just winch myself out 👍🏼

Thanks Tim enjoyed the video

Good job on the video. I’m for sure getting the same winch. 80 bucks not bad either

Cheers, think I will be getting a cheap one for how little I need one.

The fraying you see is an issue, that already reduce the working load of that cable, definitely keep an eye on it if you need to use this often.

Thanks for the review, it seems like these winches are well worth the money and do actually work as described. I appreciate the detail in the review, like the cable shavings and so-on. The remote appears to work very well and it looked reliable in your video which is important. But that delay might still be troublesome in difficult operations. I would imagine the hardwired controller is instantaneous. I wonder if professional winch operators prefer hardwired controllers, even if they are on a long lead!

Which deep cycle battery did you use there? I’m getting a 2500 lb winch and looking for a battery for it?

Hi, I bought same winch kit like yours but mine got extra red wire on the switch.. Not to remote control. I have to connected to battery? I will use on my atv, do you thing I need a extra relay? Thank you

I got a question on that setup I’m currently in the process of building a flat bed kind of and I want a winch on the end for my quad. It will be to steep to ride up. How would you keep your battery charged.

Look like it works good.

5 years later, how's the winch doing?

Can we adjust the speed (rpm) of the winch?

Nice video always make sure you run the battery connected to an alternator or you may trash the battery

Can you do a video where you double the cable back to itself with a snatch block

Incredible.

Thanks great review

Has the cable com apart yet

Does this allow you to run in reverse to lower the car back down?

What Size Battery do you recommend

Will this winch work with power wheel battery? I think they are 12v 12ah sla battery. Don't want to use a real car battery since those are big and heavy.

Does anyone know if this winch will mount to the front of a 2016 polaris ace 570

Hi Tim I found your channel soon after I got my mini lathe it's the same as yours. I watched your videos on how to set it up and use it. Since then I have had hours of fun with it. So thank you for your video's as you did help me so much. Your trailer is looking great. I wonder does the truck charge the winch battery as you drive? Your pal Helcat in Australia.

This is the same identical winch sold by Harbor Freight under the "Badland" name, but the Harbor Freight version is just $129 and with a coupon you can get it for around $100, so save your money. I actually got mine for less than $100 because I had a coupon and used the 20% discount at the same time, so there ya go. Just FYI.

I am using a similar winch (ZESuper brand) which I have attached to the boom of a small crane I have constructed in the rear of my Toyota Tarago Ultima, It lifts my wife's (SafeRider brand) wheelchair in and out of our car in one piece without dismantling it. Her wheelchair only weighs 42.9 Kg (ie 94.57 Pounds) which is hardly a challenge for a winch rated at 3,500 lbs . A cigarette lighter socket is already located beside the crane which powers the winch, I purchased it on eBay for $88.00 AUD .

"Please don't make fun of my car"

Is that a motorcycle battery? 4 pounds?

You should’ve added some air to the tires

Thank you for the good video, sir. I have a question. Is there any way to use the "car winch" at home? (sometimes to lift a heavy object) I think I can use winch like this with my short knowledge. Will you check my thoughts? Connect the battery disconnected from the car to the winch, then connect the battery connected to the winch to the battery charger and plug the charger into the 110V in the house. What do you think of this method? And I saw a comment saying that connecting the winch directly to a battery disconnected from a car can overload the battery, which can shorten the battery life and be dangerous. Is that really so? If you know the answer to this question, let me know... Thank you.

Hey! Connecting the battery directly to the winch without having either a voltage-based cut off switch or a charging mechanism attached (car alternator for example) very much has the possibility of over draining the battery which can damage it. I don't have either of these in place but I do monitor the voltage carefully when I use it and be sure to always start with a fully charged battery. As for using this winch as a hoist.. definitely NOT. It is not intended for lifting weight off the ground and could result in catastrophic failure. What you'd need to use is an overhead hoist such as this one: amzn.to/3dR0tOM I have a very similar one in my own garage, exactly for the use of lifting heavy objects and it's been working wonderfully. And as a bonus, it plugs into a regular 110v outlet right out of the box. Hope this helps, good luck, and be safe!

I’ve always wanted a electric winch, but I truly have nothing to use it on. My last car had trouble getting up my driveway (on a hill) when it snowed. I thought about installing a winch in my garage but never did. My current car has all wheel drive and traction control and I’ve never had a problem getting up the hill. It seems like it might be good to connect the wired control switch even if only to use as an emergency cut off. Hopefully the remote encoding algorithm is reasonably robust, but it could be susceptible to interference or a button or relay could get stuck.

That's what an emergency shutoff button would be for, not a second controller.

the cable is rubbing on the side of the spool. why its fraying. pull it all out and re roll it to where its even throughout and the cable will last a lot longer. also you could switch to a synthetic cable super nice because of not splinters.

@mlindholm

XmackattackX I can't say for positive it's rubbing on the side, but I definitely agree about unspooling it all the way, then rewinding under tension (even someone pulling back by hand) as you reroll it. Having the wraps tightening over each other unevenly and randomly will lead to all sorts of problems, like that loop forming as it was loosened at the end, eventually leading to unexpected cable breaks.

How will the battery you hooked up recharge?

I replaced the core support with a Civic one, used the Civic hood and bumpers as they were, and then custom made the fenders using the rear 1/4 or so of the del Sol fenders and the front 3/4 of the Civic fenders and used the Civic body lines in the fenders to make scoops. All in all it turned out pretty cool. Used to be on air suspension too..

buy a small snatch block,put this at the car end and feed the winch wire back towards the winch.this will increase capacity by 150%.also a lot easier on your winches planetary gears.

Hi. I have a 4000 lb version with the same remote. I stood around 20-25 meters away from the winch, to test the remote, and it worked

I’m in shock that cars emergency brake would even be on. The next would be it breaking free.

Just to help you out and not have problems with the winch and cable Clean up the cable and not let it cross over and bundle in spots. And you are shredding the aluminum on the sides of the spool it's not the cable

They are very nice, but I prefer the ZXR 3500 at harbor freight, The 2500 from harbor freight has a loud gear set like yours, I don't like,

Del sol fuck yeah

@@omardude39 I've bought 2 Winches now. But because of limited space and my interest in "how secure does the Winch lock" It would have been easyer if I could see how it was freed and locked again. But there seems to be a Spring which pulls it back in Lock position if its not fully turned into free spool position. I,ll use them for a special Lifting mechanism.
