Guest grey thunder Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 My advice would go for the comeup gen2 9.5 winch fully water proof with on board information unit ,,,but it is your money :wav2 :wav2 :wav2 :wav2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member PeteS Posted December 18, 2015 Platinum Member Share Posted December 18, 2015 I would also go for the comeup winch, they are very good. The Smittybuilt winch has a drum brake I think which means with synthetic rope as you winch out under load the drum will get hot, hot enough to melt the synthetic rope. Great for steel wire but not so good for synthetic rope. Other winches have the brake at the end as do ComeUp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grey thunder Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Pete is correct the comeup has an external brake drum with heat sink .. :great: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member General Confusion Posted December 18, 2015 Platinum Member Share Posted December 18, 2015 I have had my Come-Up winch for three years and I can't fault it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
