electric winch drag weight vs rating.

Recommended Posts

I am looking to get a small winch solely for dragging a Bison up my ramp on the trailer. Anyone have any experience with this? I am doubtful that a 1500lb will drag 1500 lbs . Looking to get the smallest one I can as I will probably never use it again. I have dragged a bull elk out of a stock tank before and was shocked at just how hard it dragged.

I've dragged horses, cattle, elk; usually dead and a lotta vehicles with manual come alongs.

I use two come alongs in tandem and I've had the same two come alongs since I bought them 35 years ago to stretch miles of fence in a commercial business.

 Ignore the cheap ones. I purchased Maasdam's and they're still on the job. I have one holding up a 300lb gate I'm installing now.

They're rated at 2 tons each but I once used one to crank an S-10  Blazer out of a canal.
