[quote=MN3][quote]I like the idea of the harbor freight ATV winch. They sell two model numbers of the same unit,[/quote]
I own a HF BadLands 2500 lb. ATV winch - it has the WORST duty cycle rate (5%) I have ever heard of and due to this , it works for about 45 seconds of use (pulling my 5.5 on a trailer in my yard (with a trailer dolly/wheels attached to the tongue) before going into thermal shutdown for 15 - 20 minutes
"This Winch with a 5% duty cycle at its
maximum load [b]must be allowed to rest for at least
14 minutes, 15 seconds after every 45 seconds of
continuous operation[/b]. Failure to carefully observe
duty cycle limitations can easily over-stress a
Winch contributing to premature Winch failure."
