vtpainter Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 OK.I put a new plow on my rhino. Moose plow with 6 ft blade. My 3000lb champion winch will not pick it up. If i pick it up manually it wont even hold it up. I guess i need new winch. Any sugestions or someone with same expirience. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sits in trees Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 That should pick up that 6 ft moose with ease. Sounds like its cooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtpainter Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Thanks for the help . I have ordered a warn for it. Plow people said it will do the job. Ants, my champion is 3 yrs old. Though I didnt use it much, it seemed to be froze up from mud and water, etc. It is awful wet and muddy where i ride it. Yours should be fine .
