Trailer Winch Questions

[Dwight Thomas]

I recently purchased an Oday 25 it has a roller trailer. I have a winch on the trailer that needs to be replaced, it is so rusted that I cannot tell if it is a 1800 lb, 2800lb or 3800lb winch. I do know that it is a 2-speed, non-braking type winch. When you get into the 3800lb range prices begin to skyrocket. So I would like to know with a roller-type trailer what size winch do I need to use on an O'day 25? Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dwight Thomas

Which Winch For A Wench

Dwight,The 2600# / Two Speed will be more than enough for your use. Plan on replacing the strap every year or two, as they are cheap and wear out quickly. You might even want to keep a spare in your truck for that unexpected time when it breaks while trying to retrive at the ramp.Ben AllenMontgomery, AL"Latte Dah"O'Day 26
