Winches? Does anybody run them on their rigs? And if so what weight range. A few guys around here have them. I know i've used my 3000# on my 4 wheeler to pull buggies out of small ditches.

i have the warn 4.0 and it has gotten me out of trouble many times. 4000lb pull or 8000lb with a snatch block. winch with cable adds 30lbs. wouldnt go riding without it.

I second that. 4000# is the minimum I would use. Even it will not pull you out a lot of situations with out the help of the Buggy Engine..

The little rubber cover on the brake pedal came off and my foot got stuck in the pedals. I went flying down a very steep/short hill and bashed a tree wearing only my lap belt. Had a disgruntled doctor that is getting tired of stitching up people from "haspin acres". He kept telling me to sell the buggy while giving me that botch stitch job using only 8 stitches.

Yes I was, She got me unstuck by sitting down and pushing the buggy's front-end up with her legs. I have to blame someone for my misfortune. :) She's a good sport, I blame everything on her and she blames everything on me.

:lol: :lol: That sounds more like it Rock. Y'all like to do stuff!
No matter what rig you got, or how good you are, If you dont get stuck, jacked up on a hill, or on your lid every now and then , you aint doin' nothin'!!

As far as winches go, I personally dont like 'em on a rail, thats what friends,a strap, and a good tree are for! :wink: :lol:
