where are people getting them from now??tigerz gear i mean?i went onto 4h the other day and it was down,then i heard it was no longer open????

i will definately be keen on the 6000 for my truck so keep me informed thanks,appsie

that was wat i was told too but i aint one to spread rumours or judge

its a good store hopefully it stays

edit: still comes up as being down.Whats the adress then?

Why bother with a 6000lb unit when 9500lb winches are available WITH synthetic rope for around $650 and weigh bugger all more?

Because in theory the 6000lb winch should be 50% faster under light load, where 90% of winching takes place if you have a well setup car.

I have no interest in a slow 9500lb winch, but I could be convinced to run a fast 6000lb winch.

Steve.

yeh just read all the goss linked in the other forums.no good .

so who else brings in tigerz gear?

If its not a comp is there a need for speed? yes it might mean you get a bit more wheeling done in a day but for normal wheeling isn't reliability a much bigger issue than speed?

My company distributes Tigerz11 gear but I'm not allowed to advertise here! Yet anyway.

Being a zook driver, I've been at tigerz11 to bring in a solid 6000lber. I was just talking to him tonight about the features and bits we'd want on them. That price for around the $650 mark would include synthetic rope, but I have found out that he was looking at something similar to the T-Max winch in size at about 450mm long with about 24m of synthetic rope which isn't too bad.

This would mean that it wouldn't have the same bolt pattern than a standard Warn would have making fitment to any commercial bar for a zook a pain in the butt so I'm trying to push the same bolt pattern which means a larger winch all up but ease of fitment.

What are your thoughts? Would you rather a smaller winch which would mean having to redrill the winch mounting plate or a larger bodied bolt on winch which would probably have slightly larger rope capacity as well.

Here's your chance to have some direct input into the development of a winch almost solely for you guys, the zook drivers!

(As with 4H, I used to work for them, He owes me and 2 pages of creditors alot of money. Basically, a drop ship, pay upon ordering style of business shouldn't have any problems with sound financial management.)

Smaller winch, but I can fab my way around the bolting pattern issues. Others may not be so keen.

I'd prefer smaller too. but making it so it still fit's a std ARB but just with re-drilling will help with general sales however

I was more referring to your average joe that has to buy the adaptor cradle. which would then mean he might not look at this winch as a valid option. But if all he had to do was bribe a mate into redrilling a couple of hole's It'd be realistic.

Because in theory the 6000lb winch should be 50% faster under light load

and theory is all it ever will be.

i've owned many 6000's over the years and will never go back to them. the larger 8's and 9's that i now use are way better.
