First day working with the Bulldog Wench. It worked as advertised thus far without issue.. Unable to put it through proper trials due an inadequate wench plate. May have to fabricate one from 1/2" stock. The snatch blocks are first rate.

Great piece of equipment. Will have local company install on the flat-bed utility trailer which is used to transport riding mowers and an occasional golf cart to shops. Will need to purchase battery and waterproof enclosure.

Used this to winch a vehicle onto a car hauler. The winch pulled the vehicle up with zero problems. I like the fact that this winch is portable. Powered winch off of a deep cycle battery. Winch did not drain battery. Powerful, compact winch. Plenty of accessories included.

Great portability, but I’m going to mount it in my enclosed car transporter. It’ll be used for pull the car in with dead batteries or low tires. Nice!

Easy Installation. Needed a little coaxing to free spool at first, but operates fine. Compact and a great application for my Cobra hauler.

I purchased this winch after a friend loaned me his. I had to winch my 6k lb boat on the trailer when the eye hook broke. I had to strap the stern of the boat and winch the boat from the water. It saved the day and bought myself one right away for any emergency.

This is an awesome winch. I use it to haul antique railroad motorcars in and out of an enclosed trailer with ease. This winch is great because it is essentially portable. I hook a short chain to the rear clevis hooks to a bracket in my trailer and pull the machine up the ramps. The power is provided by a battery jump pack by clipping the battery leads to the jump pack leads for now and it works great with no permanent wiring. I also have an open trailer and use it with that trailer as well for pulling tractors and cars onto the trailer as well. In a few seconds I can close up the power cables and the remote cable, close the box, disconnect the winch from the trailer and move it to another trailer or put it away. However, it easily can stay home in the trailer since it is so compact and easy to store out of the way. The only complaint is probably the same with most winches, you must guide the cable onto the reel so it does not bind up on one side and pinch the cable. If you remember to guide the cable, it works awesome and is a very good product. You can also freespool the cable out to hook it onto whatever you are pulling which makes the job faster. The speed it operates is safe and seems like just a few seconds and the job is done. Great product and great service with Etrailer.

The wench mounted very easy with my KFI Polaris wench mount no modifications. Have yet to try it out. Only disappointment was the circuit breaker on the positive battery cable is bear, with no cover. If it bounces around and touches the frame it will short out. As you know riding in an ATV/UTV you are on rough terrain most of the time. Looking for a cable cover, if not I will just tape the sh&$ out of it to make it safe. No heat shrink that size that I can find. But looks like a strong, well built wench. Love the cabled remote. Not a fan of wireless or a toggle in the cab. Would have rated it a 5 but no idea how well it works when the chips are down.

I've bought this winch to put on my car hauler, I mounted it in a tongue tool box to keep it out of the weather. It works like a champ and should last a oong while.

It came on time and was packaged great. I am using the winch to load my race cars into my enclosed trailer. It is working very well. It is slow enough to make loading safe but fast enough to not take all day. I am very pleased.

Has worked perfectly. No issues after pulling my track cars onto my trailer around 75 times. I do notice fraying of the rope... Will probably need replacement pretty soon. Without the rope fray I would give it 5 stars.

I'm very happy with this winch so far, and also with etrailer for their customer service. The winch arrived quickly after I ordered it, but was missing the hook. I went ahead and installed it on my equipment trailer and was able to offload my son's car, but I really needed the hook to be able to handle the heavy chain needed for loading my tractor. Customer service (Rose B.) was very helpful and the missing hook arrived in less than a week. Installation was easy, and I added two heavy angle-brackets so the winch frame is bolted to the trailer frame as well as the decking (photos attached). I used my own longer stainless bolts because of the thicker material.

Just installed yesterday. Nice appearance and very compact. Smaller foot print than the winch plate on my trailer. It was nice to have the mounting hardware and mounting plate included with the winch. Pulled 20’ of cable out and powered it in. Motor is whisper quiet. I like the 20’ remote cable which gets me to the back end of my 20’ trailer deck easily.

My winch is mounted on a pedestal welded to the tongue of an open trailer. I power the winch with a 12v marine battery mounted in a watertight box and a small solar charger. The winch pulls a 3000-pound car onto a trailer with ease.

For my purposes this has worked out well. It is relatively portable and I connect with a hitch on either the front or back of my Envoy. Well constructed and competively priced.

I chose this winch for an 18 ft Kwik load roll back open car hauler. Size and price met my needs. Installed it in a 30" tool box on the forward deck of the trailer under the tire rack. Perfect size to hold the winch, battery and additional straps. Using a GM F body battery tray/hold down for securing a group 75 battery. To hook to the battery side posts I did swap the connectors to larger copper eye terminals. Will be finishing it by adding a small solar panel to maintain juice. Only used this once so far. Everything worked very smoothly. Real happy with how it came out. Thanks etrailer!

I've had the winch for a year and its been reliable. I use it to load/unload a 2500 lbs race car from a flatbed trailer. I do have it enclosed in a steel box with a battery and solar panel charger on top. The one issue I have with it is that it does not evenly spool-up the cable...it tends to spool it towards the center versus back and forth across the face of the winch. (If there is a simple fix for that, please let me know!) Otherwise good winch for the money!

Electric Winch Questions
- I do have an option for you but I reached out to Superwinch and the clutch handle is not replaceable on the Superwinch S4000. Therefore, if this is broken or faulty then the entire winch would need to be replaced but we do have a great cost effective option for this in the etrailer ATV Winch part # e98989. This winch has a higher capacity at 5,000 lbs, upgraded synthetic rope, and a wired remote for easy use.
I also asked about the motor cover and this is not available either.
view full answer... - I checked with Superwinch, there is no replacement controller offered for the Superwinch X3 Winch 1301. Therefore this will need to be replaced and for this we have a very like option in the Superwinch LT4000 ATV Winch part # SW1140220 which like the X3 has a 4,000 lb weight capacity, handheld remote, and wire rope.
view full answer... - Great question!
The 18K rating of the Superwinch Tiger Shark Off-Road Winch # W85NF is the static load rating which means that's just the straight up strength of the winch when pulling a load.
If you plan on using this for vehicle recovery then the max weight capacity of the vehicle is 13K. This is lower because you'll be pulling the weight of the vehicle but also against the forces that have the vehicle stuck. Most vehicles fall under 13K though so unless you're using this...
view full answer... - With the Bulldog Winch # BDW76FR, the compatible remote you need is the Wireless Remote Kit for Bulldog Winch Heavy-Duty Trailer Winches # BDW54QB. The installation comes with a simple plug-and-play harness. As far as the distance signal travel, you will be able to use the remote within 65 feet of the winch.
view full answer... - As far as a front hitch for your 2022 RAM 2500, I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31089. The hitch is great because the crosstubes will be completely hidden under your fascia for a clean look. Also, in addition to the 9,000 pounds of maximum line pull, the Curt Front Hitch is assembled here in the U.S.A.
For a hitch-mounted winch, I recommend the Bulldog Winch Standard Series Off-Road Winch - Synthetic Rope - 8k # BDW10044 along with...
view full answer... - There are actually AC powered winches that you could use that would be a better option than converting AC to DC power. The issue is that winches draw a lot of power so most converters could not handle the draw and the ones that can are very expensive and we do not carry them.
The most cost efficient AC winch is # DL25514. It is rated for 1,200 pounds and comes with wire rope and manual handle if for some reason there is no power to the outlet.
view full answer... - Yes the Superwinch Winch 2 Go Portable Winch part # SW1140222 would be a good solution for self recovery. With the included pulley block you will increase the pulling capacity of the winch 100% with your Toyota Tacoma weighing 5,600 lbs. this is within range. In general recovery you wil not be pulling the entire weight of the vehicle and this will be a great way to keep yourself moving down the trail.
view full answer... - The Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch part # BDW15019 is a great affordable option for a car trailer winch. It comes with a wired remote for ease of use and a roller fairlead to prevent excess wear on the cable. It features an industry standard four bolt mount. It can indeed be removed but you would have to undo each of the four bolt each time and there's no way around this.
In regards to the wiring, we do have an option that allows you to power the winch from the vehicle battery...
view full answer... - The Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch # BDW10039 is 24" long x 7-1/4" wide x 7-1/4" tall so it will have no issues fitting on your recessed plate on your trailer. The winch includes a mounting plate that is 20" long and 7-3/8" wide. It has mounting holes for the winch of 10" x 4-1/2" and additional holes at 13" x 6-1/8" for mounting the plate to the trailer. You should have no issues fitting the winch to your recessed mounting plate.
My biggest concern is the steel wire rope rubbing...
view full answer... - For a boat that is 8,000 lbs, since you want something rated higher than 3,000 lbs you'll have to go with an electric winch because manual winches don't go as high as you are wanting. Capacity is generally 2-to-1 for boat winches (meaning the boat weight can be about 2x the winch capacity), so the best option is the 4,500 lb ComeUp DV-4500si Trailer Winch - Synthetic Rope # CU644501.
The # CU644501 comes with a remote that has a 10' lead, and 50' of synthetic rope. It does...
view full answer... - That's a good question, and yes, you can use synthetic rope instead of the Wire Cable # BDW20109 with your Bulldog Winch Standard Series Off-Road Winch - Wire Rope - Roller Fairlead - 9,500 lbs # BDW10042. This winch is actually the same as the Bulldog Winch # BDW10045, which just comes with synthetic rope instead of wire cable.
All of that is a long way of saying that for your winch, the correct 100 foot synthetic rope and hook for your winch are the following:
- Replacement...
view full answer... - The Dutton-Lainson StrongArm 12-Volt DC Electric Winch with Remote # DL25220 comes with a 20' Long x 2" Wide extra heavy duty polyester strap with the snap hook.
view full answer... - For your 2015 Honda Foreman you can use Bulldog winch mount # BDW15181 and mating 3000-lb model # SW1130220. These and other recovery winches that for this mount can be seen on the linked page. The two linked articles on winches may be of interest to you as you decide on your preferred winch model.
view full answer... - To add a second wiring harness to your Superwinch Winch 2 Go Portable Winch # SW1140222 you can either use part # BDW20347 which comes with 7-1/2' of 1 gauge wire or part # BDW20298 which comes with 20' of 2 gauge wire. Both of these have the Anderson style of clip that will plug right into your winch.
I reached out to Superwinch about a direct replacement harness and they said they don't supply that as a separate part.
view full answer... - Either the Superwinch Terra # SW1135230 winch with its 3500 lb capacity or the Superwinch # 1120210 LT2000 winch (I am not clear about which one you have) should be able to handle your ice shack with no problem if you use a pulley block like # BDW20004. Using a pulley block can nearly double the winch capacity, which will be necessary because you will be pulling a dead weight up an incline.
You would mount the winch offset to one side of the front of the trailer, and secure...
view full answer... - This Bulldog Winch # BDW15018 has a static weight capacity of 3400 lbs so it will be plenty strong to lift 600 lbs of dead weight. Since you're hoisting something up you may want to get the wireless remote that will work with the winch # BDW20212. This way you don't have to worry about another cable and remote.
view full answer... - I spoke with my contact at Dutton Lainson and she stated that the StrongArm Electric Davit Winch, # DL25032, would work well for the 800 pound vertical lift as the winch does not have a clutch. I have included a link to the installation details for the winch below.
The winch does not come with a cable. I recommend using # DL24047 or # DL24045 with fastener # DL24361.
view full answer... - That's a hard figure to give as different winches draw different amounts of amperage and they also draw different amounts of amperage based on how close to the capacity the winch is at. A handful of hours is commonly the amount of time for most applications.
You could power the winch from your car battery with jumper cables too.
view full answer... - A better solution for a mounting plate for the Bulldog Winch part # BDW10041 that you mentioned would be the universal mounting bracket part # BDW20291 which is larger than the mount you mentioned. Then for hardware we have the part # BDW20297 which fits the countersunk holes of the mount.
view full answer... - The weight is 54 lbs for the Superwinch S7500 Trailer Winch # SW1475201.
