Thread: Took the Plunge on a Tigerz Winch

I fitted a T-Max to the wife's 90 for the same reason. Not used it in anger yet but its there. Ive got a 9000 Warne on the 110 and only used this once in 18 months. Time will tell I suppose if my decission was correct but at over a grand difference in price I can replace the T-Max again and still have change.

Yeh I just cant justify that $$ on winch. I have a black Rat Trifor that a work mate is interested in buying that will cover some (almost 1/2) the expense of the TigerZ. I had been carting that Hand winch around for past couple of years, its brand new never used......so there is part of the evidence for not spending massive dolllars on the big flash Warne.

When these winches come with wire you usually get about 28m - how much rope do you get?

not sure how much rope, I defintely wanted the rope just to save some weight. Unit weighs 23kgs with the rope.

The Tigerz ones also have the same 28m of rope. Tigerz11.com.au

I put on a 12,000lb Tigerz with rope a few weeks back. Used it once in anger to pull a mate out (they know who they are ) who was well stuck, using a snatch-block. Worked fine. Also, don't forget to take you're controller with you when you go offroad!

We also have a 12,000lb on our 110 and it has worked fine. We fitted a second battery with a redarc and never had an issue. A great winch for the price.

How do you guys find only having 28m cable. I think I would find it too short. My 101 has 60m of cable and on both times I have used it I have had to use nearly all the cable plus an extension strap. Thankfully the load was not too great that I would have to use a double line pull. Electively, having less than 14m available for a double line pull means winching points need to be close.

The reason I ask is that I have a spare 15,000lb electric winch (similar to the Tigrez) that I will put in my rear tow bar hitch point and it has only 28m of cable so just interested how that small amount of cable works in practice - hence my earlier question about the length of rope as I had incorrectly assumed you would get more rope than cable.
