Winch choice?
After some advice/views on getting a winch. It will probably only be used a few times a year.
Would it be better to go for a 2nd hand older winch from a decent brand like Goodwinch or Superwinch etc or for roughly the same cost go for a new one like a Rhino or Winchmax?

Any thoughts? Cheers

I am happy with my Goodwinch. Gets used to winch cars from ditches on rally stages. It has been serviced a few times by Goodwinch. 1999 Defender TD5 110

I may be biased..
hope you don't mind the blatant bump, but I'm selling a Superwinch Husky still boxed, never fitted, manufactured in 2018 and no longer available. Favourite winch of many on this forum, I'm only selling it because I was able to source a 'period correct' one for my 1998 Wolf - It's £900 but will last a lifetime. Please PM me if interested?

Thanks for the offer Andy but not looking to spend that much and not sure it would fit in my winch bumper I already have installed. Appreciate that is a decent winch though!

A tds is a great value winch, low current draw, well supported by David and now Will at Goodwinch . Reknown to work after long periods of inactivity, unlike many other brands out there which suffer badly with lack of use, including warn. Cheers

Another vote for goodwinch tds. I’ve had mine for probably 10 years now and still going strong. It’s also a lot quicker than a lot of other winches out there 2015 RRS Autobiography SDV6

I have a winch for sale. Its probably 4 years old now but likely never used, I've certainly never used it. I don't know the make but think it was a Britpart winch. Bought off forum sponsor CSK Auto who had it on their show truck for that year.

Hi Jow, I normally shy away from Britpart stuff but maybe tempted have you got any more info on it?

I think CSK debadged it as it was on their Show truck as below. New 2019. I bought (for looks only Embarassed ) in 2020, mainly barn stored so good condition. I'll have another look tomorrow. Winch bumper up for grabs if you wanted too.

Superwunch ep series are very good winches , their design inspired the tds range.

Look at what people who need reliability use, recovery truck husky or hydraulic.

Rear winch on a comp car, many a tds out there, you don't see many tf, Bridport, winches etc. Cheers

Bit of a thread detour, but now the Husky has gone, what do you buy if you want quality commercial grade winch? 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS
