Re: Trailer Winch
I also have the Superwinch 5000. Do yourself a favor and take it apart BEFORE you install it and grease it up! I had mine for a year when it started squealing like a stuck pig. I called the company and they said to take it apart and grease it up real good! Really?! Anyway I did and it has been perfect ever since. Jim

Re: Trailer Winch
I have a Superwinch 5000 and I am very pleased with it. It comes with 50' of 1/4" cable and a 30' remote control. You can also purchase a wireless remote control with is very nice. I paid about $380.00 for it from Amazon.

Re: Trailer Winch
I have used my Superwinch S3500 for 7+ yrs to load/unload my 3500 lb Olds. I like it a lot.

Re: Trailer Winch
I usually drive the car into the trailer, so I just have a hand operated Dutton Lainson hand winch as a backup, mounted on a pedestal at the front of the trailer. I also have a snatch block in case the car won't roll easily. Even though your car weighs 3600, the pull will be less since it is rolling, not being lifted. Use cable with breaking strength well over 3600 though.

Re: Trailer Winch
I have used a Superwinch S 4000 for many years.I can't imagine what it would be like to have an enclosed trailer without a winch.
I also can't imagine what it would be like to not have an electric tongue jack,but I still see tons of people without them either. I'm getting old,I guess. |
