I was given what appears to be a Super Winch. Not quite sure of the model because it was in bad shape, but it appears to be a 3000 series. I've rebuilt it rewired it and installed a new 50' cable and hook and new control switch. It works pretty good but I'm not sure of it's true capability. The specs I could dig up rate it at 3000 lbs, but also show 1800lb, 2400lb and 4200lb with no discription of what these ratings are. I'm thinking one is dead pull rating and wonder what it is and if this would be useful in recovery or if it would only be good for pulling things like my zero turn radius lawnmower onto a trailer. Anyone have experience with one of these.

 

If it is 3000 lbs that will be useless on your truck.

 

I pretty much figured it wouldn't pull or drag a rig, but would it be any help at all other than mounting it for pulling things onto a trailer.

 

Possibly, if they are under 3000 lbs. I googled for ya, and I would be pretty much positive that its a 3k lb winch.

 

post pics. also look for a serial number.
