Best Subaru Outback Wagon Electric Winchs

Shopped around a lot before I bought this. My boat is heavy (7500 lb) and the wench I had struggled. I took a chance on this as it was rated for the weight. I used the Anderson style connectors and installed a breaker near the battery. Pulled new wire rated for the amp draw. I couldnt be happier! This thing is a beast! Has no prob pulling my boat and cant see that it struggles at all. Highly reccomend. Photo is during installation. I put a cover over it due to my anchor comes close when launching and didnt want it to hit.

Received the winch and all looks good. I ordered a new boat trailer so the winch hasn't been installed yet. Will let you know when it's installed

I have the winch mounted on a detachable hitch that I have on my 18’ trailer. Pin in on when I need it. We buy , sell and show antique tractors. Some of the tractors we buy aren’t running so we just winch them on the trailer. This winch has excellent power and torque and we can skid any tractor on the trailer even if the rear wheels are locked or if it has been sitting in the weeds for years. Great buy for the money. Shipping was very fast.

Very satisfied with the service and, support. I originally set out to order the TS 9500 winch. Etrailer tried to help out by offering an upgrade to 13500 for less than the price of the 9500. Only problem there was a space issue when I mounted it behind my new bumper so, I had to return it and, settle for the smaller version. They made the return and replacement as painless as possible. The 9500 winch has been working without any issues since I purchased it a year ago. Thanks etrailer!

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.

Very heavy duty and a great deal from etrailer, thanks

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!

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.

excellent product

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.

Really fast delivery--thanks!

It really did a great job pulling two trucks up on to my trailer I would recommend this winch

Yery nice winch. Was here 2 days after ordering. Very happy with my orders from Etrailer!

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!

Eric was very friendly, polite and eager to help me find what I was looking for, it is a Christmas gift for my husband and he made it very easy and smooth! Great customer service he gave me his extension and said if I had any questions to call, this is the way a business should treat customers very impressed!

I use it in my race car trailer it works great. The wireless remote works better than any one I have used.

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 WINCH FOR THE PRICE-

I bought this winch to use in my enclosed car trailer to load heavy pallets on a pallet jack. This worked perfect, as the remote allowed me to guide the pallet jack as i was winching. The install was very easy with 4 bolts and a backing plate under the trailer floor. I used a portable battery box with deep cycle battery borrowed from my trolling motor to power it as the trailer has no provision for a battery. I am very impressed with the performance and will be installing another one on my ATV trailer.

Works great for loading my classic car into my box trailer. I like the remote control feature. It allows walking around the car to make sure it is tracking properly. Pull strength is adequate and small size takes up minimum space.

I mounted this winch on my racing trailer. I use it to winch a 2700lb car into position. It has worked flawlessly. Easy on the battery, really like the fiber cable over steel. This winch is perfect for my application. I would highly recommend this product.

Well made. Using it as a load winch for my enclosed trailer.

Exactly what I was looking for. The 1 bad thing is battery cable is too short but I can extend.

Everything about the winch seems well made. The extensive use of cast iron gives confidence to the quality of construction. It has all the useful features I need, especially the remote switch. The wires supplied were soft and pliable. I used a few 4x4s across the front of the trailer bed to raise up the winch so that the cable can reach 12 feet to the rear. The 4x4s are bolted from the top and down through the bed frame with a single threaded rod, and also vertically to the railing, at the ends. The railing is further supported by chains to the front hitch. The chain can be loosened easily and dropped down so that I can climb over the hitch easily. I modified a 1/4” piece of steel boiler plate to mount to the front rail and top 4x4, PICTURE 1. The steel boiler plate is secured at all 4 corners. The winch mount plate, PICTURE 2, is sandwiched between the steel boiler plate and the winch and held to the winch by 4 bolts, shown in PICTURE 3. This becomes one single assembly, held to the trailer by 4 nuts, and easily removed when not in use. PICTURE 4 shows the mounting studs for the winch assembly. In PICTURE 5, the releasable and turnbuckle chains help to take the stress off the front rail of the trailer. A common use for the winch would be for small tractors up to 1500 pounds. My van has existing #2 wire coming from the battery for a winch inside the van. It was a matter of tapping into that for the relay and installing a 60amp receptacle for a plug. The winch is plugged into the receptacle, something I’ve done with my existing van winch without any trouble. I will always store the winch inside my van, but allowing it to be unplugged and stored in the garage is another plus.

Thank you George for your support this terra winch is going to get a work out on this polaris work horse. I relocated the battery to assist winch plus your winch mount installation was easy.

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.

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.
