How loud is this winch? How many rpm? can it be used for 6-8 hours straight or would it burn up?

It wasn't very loud. Don't know the rpm. The winch worked the first time when pull one boat lift off the lake. The 2nd year, tried to use it again, we found it didn't work any more, 4-5 teeth of the gear had been worn out just for one job. We had to send it to trash can.

I've been using mine for years with no issues, lots of times for days in a row like the last 4 weeks. I am not very good either about the lubricant spray or vacuuming the dust underneath but no matter, the two of us keep plugging away. I do either 30 mins in max incline at 4 mph or 25 mins on the flat at 5.5 - 6 mph. I'm moving to a bigger house and don't plan on upgrading it either.

It's loud but not horrible. We have it set up outside on the back porch and we just leave it. I put a $6 plastic tote from Target upside down on top of the blower when we aren't using it to keep it dry.

Mine overheats in about 15 minutes, even in cool spring temperatures, even on freshly mown, dry grass with the dethatcher set on its highest setting. You have to let it cool down for 20 - 30 minutes before the electric motor will restart. It would take a long, long time to de-thatch a half-acre. When it's running, it does work quite well.

I would not buy this cart again. The exhaust weld broke away from the engine block 5 days after the kids starting using it. It is now useless and replacement parts are hard to find. Also, It is so small that even a small child has trouble getting in our out. To me, this is a cheap and poorly build cart. But to answer your question, the HP seem sufficient to power the card to pretty decent speeds, however, as I said, you may only get a few days out of it....

The description says up to a 32 pound river anchor at 80 fpm.But don't count on it going that fast. This is a slow down slow up winch. Would not recommend for river fishing or if you need to drop anchor fast. Plus on long retrieves it tends to shut down because the motor over heats so you are drifting for a minute until it kicks back on.

It depends on the bed you build, I hull a 8" john boat on mine with bunk rollers installed with a 1 ton winch. It travels good at 65mph but depends on the build

For its size and power, it is not a loud generator. Would it be running the entire time you're there or just fired up periodically? Do you typically go to campgrounds or try to get away from all people? It would be fine at a campground, where there would be plenty of other noises. If you were going to be off by yourself somewhere, I don't know that you wouldn't find it monotonous after a while.

I would say that for it's size it has a lot of torque. Continueus running is ok, and it does not get hot. I have ran it continuely for 24 hrs with no problem. Don't think you can use it to power a winch on your 4 wheeler.

I feel the motor is pretty loud but I have it right next to my house. As far as how long does it run. I'm using it as a back up to charge my solar system. I run it about 2 to 3 hours a day and it lasts about a week.

They are rated for about 4000 rpm i used it on variable speed and put it on yhe highest. Speed setting. It worked fine it definitely wore out alot quicker and there was worry about it flying off.

I have clocked it at 22 MPH on a slight downhill.(No wind) It will not do this "blazing speed" for long though, as the batteries will quickly go dead, and you will be pumping! My wife weighs 140LBS, and this thing only got her downtown and back, 5 miles each way. Wide open, which is necessary at all times, it will die soon after 10 miles. Pumping a 176 LB machine is not a fun chore! This is one "Sad Puppy" I suggest a 49cc gas machine, and avoid this nightmare at all costs! I hope this helps. -Bob

If your winch is 3,000 lbs, no problem. 13,000 lb winches draw a _lot_ more current...

good question, but no idea. I do know that this winch blows away the crappy super winch that came on my snow bear plow. I modified this to use on my plow 3 years ago, and this unit has worked without fail, and it's smoother and quieter than the super winch; not to mention, a fraction of the price.

I love ours we had it at our camp site running our big motorhome with 4 other people and I ran it all night and it didn't bother no one we even had a small bear come and laid by it so I would say it doesn't run loud and it runs a long time when it shuts off by it self make sure you check the oil right away over all me and my husband would recommend it to any one

Max capacity is 17,600 lb. when using 3/8" cable. I'm using 5/16" cable that you would have on your 10,000 lb winch and it works wonderfully. Very heavy duty block and I love the grease zerk feature. Would recommend this to anyone. No point in spending a huge amount on a name brand manufacturer.
