Anyone got an E9000 or any other winch made by Engo? Lookin at getting one and winching junk like logs n boulders on my property. Plan to mount to a hitch mount and attach to hitch on my pickup. Connect to removeable deep cycle battery in bed. Will this work? Will the battery drain in 2 minutes? Some offroad magazine rated the E9000 a best value seeing as it placed 4th in a series of tests and the top 3 were all $1000 and up. E9000 goes for $299.99 from CARiD.com. Thoughts?
We use a 12k badlands winch from harbor freight. It's about the same price if you find it on sale. It'll handle pretty much anything we throw at it. From what I gather they're made by mile marker
I have the same winch on my truck. It has gotten me out of a couple bad situations. For just dragging logs my truck does a better job itself. I've tried just the winch but it would drag my truck. Anchor the truck then it seemed like the truck was gonna rip in half. I paid $299 at HF with a online coupon.
Yes. (sorry about that) I really depends on the load. I remember reading where an 8k winch at full load will draw around 400 amps. I've had one stall the truck it was mounted on with the motor running.
