What Winch Will Move a 3000 Pound Car Up a Driveway With a 5 Degree Incline- In order to pull your vehicle up a 5 degree incline I can recommend 2 different winches that will work well in this application.

- Wire Function of a Remote Rotary Switch on a Superwinch S2500 Winch
- It sounds like someone tried to install a remote rotary style switch on your winch. I have included a diagram of how the Superwinch regular rotary switch, # SW1591, gets installed along with a link to the instructions. However, I cannot say what the wire colors are or should be because someone may have just used whatever wire was available. The diagram should help explain function though.
The red knob if turned one way pulls the line in and turned the other way pushes the line out.

- Mounting Bolt Hole Dimensions of Superwinch Talon # SW1618200
- Although we do not currently carry Warn winches, I was able to conduct some research and determine that their larger winches, as opposed to those meant for use on an ATV, use a 10x4-1/2 inch mounting bolt pattern.
As you can see by the diagram I produced for you, the Superwinch Talon can install using a 10x4-1/2 or 10x6-1/2 inch bolt pattern, so the Talon should be compatible with your bumper. However, you should measure the bolt pattern on the bumper just to be sure.

- Using Electric Winch to Load Ice Fishing Shack onto Trailer
- Either the Superwinch Terra 35 winch with its 3500 lb capacity or the Superwinch 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 the one included with part # SW1554. 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 a heavy duty

- How to Wire an Electric Winch to a Trailer or Vehicle Battery with a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500
- First, the wiring normally used to provide 12 volt power (most likely would flow through that fuse you have found) is not large enough to provide an up charge to a trailer mounted battery. Also, the alternators on most vehicles do not provide enough current to push a charging voltage back to a trailer mounted battery.
What it can do is provide a maintenance charge. This means that it will only keep the present charge level of the battery but will not add any more.
There are a few ways tha

- Wire Rope on Superwinch ATV Winch Spools Loose
- It sounds like you need a roller fairlead and that might help with the spooling issues you are having. For winch # 1220210 use fairlead # SW2349 and mount kit # SW87-42616. Adding a little bit of a load while you are spooling the wire rope in will also be helpful to keep it taught so the rope can spool correctly.

- Finding the Hot Ignition Switch on a Kawasaki Prairie 700 ATV
- If the wire you see on the ignition switch is a large wire, it may actually have other wires in side of it. What you can do is use a circuit tester like # 3808 if needed to locate the correct wire. The correct wire will only show power when the key is in the on position.
You could also follow the wire to the starter motor and see if it separates out to 2 wires and test those wires. Bascially the only way to know for sure which wire to connect to would be to test the wires with a circuit test

An electric winch is like any other motor driven power tool such as an electric drill or saw. The electric motor should not be allowed to become excessively hot.

- Will a Superwinch LT2000 Electric Utility Winch, # 1220210, Effectively Raise and Lower a Rohn Tower
- The 12-volt Superwinch LT2000 Electric Utility Winch, # 1220210, has a 2000-pound line pull capacity, which is well within your 330-pound load requirements. However, the dynamic braking on this item is not recommended for your application.
Dynamic braking systems are intended primarily for direct pull requirements such as pulling a boat or car onto a trailer. Your hoisting application would likely put too much stress on the drum. Also, please note that the 153:1 gear ratio equates to a line
