I need an answer to a technical question. I have a ramsey RE8000 winch ready to go into the land rover but the winch was orignally 24volt. The fellow I bought it from had the armatuer changed to 12 volt and also the solenoids but not the field coils but when tested (on the bench out of the winch) the motor uses a lot more power than a 12 volt should. It works fine just sucks the juice like no tommorow, like it draws about 92 amps just free spinning on the bench

Details can be found on this web site | Ramsey Winch |




Can anybody tell me if the is the only down side it sucks a lot of juice or will it deliver much less power.

I would liketo know now rather than have to take the motor out after I have put it in
