@MrJustDIY which wireless remote will worl with this winch FOR SURE? I've read where it's says the lil orange one will work with the 5k but don't know FOR SURE,thanks!
I have a 10 year old never used badland 5000 in my shop. I was hesitant to put it on my trailer. I was going to sell it with mount cradle for $150.00 and buy a bigger one. Your video has me re-thinking it.
Just FYI brother, whoever was running that camera was right in line with that winch cable. That's bad news if the cable snaps you might get beheaded. I've seen some crazy stuff happen over the years
Well, the cameraman never dies, thank God! 😂 I just make it a common sense rule to stay out of the line of cables, ropes, and spinning belts/fans. There's been people killed sitting in trucks/Jeeps using hand-held remote and the hook or cable goes right through the windshield. I know a guy who almost lost/ his ear when the cable grazed his face. Just saying, be careful even if it's brand new. Put a blanket across the line or a jacket if nothing else. 👍
A winch is a winch as they're all the same, but buy the weight capacity you going to use it for as they're the simplest things to fix when they break. Wouldn't hurt to use a snatch block either.
When I get my future boat I’m going to mount the harbor fright badland zxr 5000 pound winch on the front of my boat trailer to make loading my future boat really easy to do
@@MrJustDIY Thanks. I bought a 2500 lb winch and never used it till about a year later and all I hear is the relay clicking but no pulling from the winch. I plan on using an aftermarket wired remote which doesn't require the solenoid. Always test out the winch before installing and after installing. That's my life lesson.
@@seahawksforever9504my 2500 winch from Walmart is a beast lol, I’ve. Pulled SUVs and truck weighing close to 4500 to 5k lbs and did not struggle a bit !!
@@martingomez4216 Hello, it's been 3 years since I made that comment. I use a 2 inch hitch receiver for winch mounting. You cannot store the winch outside even though it is designed for that purpose. For long lasting, remove the winch and store it in the garage when not in use. I bought the cheap 2500 lbs badland winch and that clicking noise bothered me. I tried opening up the winch but the 2 long bolt to keep it together rusted. So I bought an extractor to remove it. After separating the two pieces I found the brush motor to be full of rust and unusable. I never used it before and it was stored on my car trailer exposed to the elements.
Great piece of equipment i'm seriously considering buying one of these...to help drag me out of bed in the morning although maybe the smaller load capacity 😂 great vid my friend thats a lovely looking trailer did you make it your self 👍
If you bought it, how is it doing? I bought one to pull a 3k metal bin with new castors up a 16.5 degree ramp, and it died. On first pull. Rated for 5k, and I even did the math, should have been fine.
A gear reducer doesn't reduce time, it reduces speed and gains pulling power. The cable is unwound out and hooked near the winch (in the shape of a U). The snatch block goes in the bottom of the U (furthest away from the winch). You hook a chain (or cable or rope) to the snatch block and to whatever you are pulling. The snatch block rolls on the cable as the cable is pulled in.
If I had a big boat what I wood do is mount that badland zxr 5000 pound winch on the front of my boat trailer and make it so I can winch my boat anytime I load it onto my boat trailer I wood have that winch setup so I can do that
If i was going to go through the trouble to set up and bolt on a winch like that i would have gone to a 10K because a 5K is at the top of that unit capability and most trucks and SUV's will me over that, and if they are stuck, they will not pull so easy.
It is a rolling load, and, you can double capacity with a snatch block. For loading a trailer this size should be fine. I was thinking about the badlands 9000 lb but it weighs 75 lbs plus whatever the mount weights. This 5000 lb winch is 33 lbs. I am not going to keep it mounted on the trailer I and going with a trailer hitch receiver type mount. The weight made the decision for me as I need to mount and dismount the thing as needed. Don't want this winch out in the weather and don't want it being a thief magnet.
A rubber mat over the cable just in case it snaps also you should not run this over a minute straight you’ll burn the motor out, read the instructions before use.
It's still working and if I'm out loading a car along the road I don't have the time to waste on it to cool off. I'd just buy a new one so it's all good
(CAUTION:probly longest and boringest comment you have encountered. PTSD writes em, I just hold the tablet. Maybe there is a thing or two helpful to someone. IF it ever gets read. I have too much info and experiences stored up) Just saw one of these in a pawn shop, looked new, askin price $170 so was checkin the net for new prices. Looks like around $200. Was just in Harbor Freight but forgot to check but found cool adapter for floor jack that looks that piece on big shop lifts that they use to Jack up vehicles ON the lift if you have seen that. Adjusts for width with two lift points. No disrespect but having the vehicle you're loading closer to the ramps saves time and work on the winch. Also if you use....damnit, can't think of name, but put that pulley thing on the vehicle end, run cable thru it and bring end of cable back to the winch mounting plate it doubles the pulling power of the winch and less strain on motor. If you have enough cable to reach. Good video. Also, I usually run power from tow vehicle to that battery to keep it charged and not run it down while usin winch. Winch runs faster also. Or just straight to the winch and no trailer mounted battery. Thieves love that battery and anything else in there with it. I think I've hauled vehicles more miles than I've driven them in 45 years of hot roddin and regular rides just breaking down. Been beyond lucky/blessed with just one trailer flat/blowout in all those miles. This will start a debate but I run regular radial automobile tires on my trailers instead of "trailer" tires. My logic is if the tire is designed to operate safely on something you're driving and support the weight and speeds then it should do better on trailers also. The one flat tire in easily over 100,000 miles of trailering with several trailers speaks for itself. As police officer and just me I've helped many, many folks on the interstate with trailer tire blow outs. Kinda amazing at number of them without spares. You do good video so if you haven't already done one maybe you could do vid on trailer safety. Like not loading "hitch light". Trailer is lifting the back of tow vehicle. Proper use of tie downs and how majorly important tire pressure is, on all vehicles but especially on trailer tires. Also to check the trailer wheel bearings for grease amount. Those trailer tires are going the same speed you are and if using smaller trailer wheels and tires they may be turning twice as fast as you are goin. That bearing grease is the only lubricant they have and once it's gone the bearing can seize up and/or the wheel comes off. All ya'll have seen that trailer sitting on the side if the road missing a wheel. Probly wasn't loose lug nuts altho those are important also. Trailering seems such a simple thing to do but there are so many things to check and that can go wrong. Worstest of all is having too small or under powered tow vehicle. We've all seen the car or truck with back end bout touching the ground and front wheels barely touching the ground trying to pull too much trailer and load. I once tried to help a family moving to another state and the man had all his shop equipment, tools, two motorcycles and several engines in a trailer rated for the two motorcycles and some gear. He had already had 5 blowouts before I met them. His wife was in tears. They were about to have to cross Monteagle Mtn and had over 200 miles to go. How do you help someone like that. Seemed like a smart dude but the trailer was so heavy his jack and mine couldn't lift it. Asked him how he had changed the other times....."I unloaded stuff till I could jack it up" Guess he wasn't as smart as he looked. When I left he was unloading the motorcycles. Sorry for stupidly long comment. PTSD and me. Guess it's what I do when I can't sleep. Like now at 1:23am. CST. rick in Tennessee.

If the cable breaks? But I've never had one do it in my 50 years. I always check them out and replace them if I start to see bad spots and always make sure you have it attached good to what ever your pulling.
FINALLY someone actually using the winch in there winch review video!! Thank you!
You bet!

I’m still using the same one and it still works great

I was going to say the same thing
Never had one do it on me in my 50 years, just know the cable limit and always replace them when you notice a bad spot starting.
The thing is made in china ..must definitely stand behind it
@@MrJustDIY seems safe

I got the 3500. Just playing with it in my living room it seems like itll do just fine on my 88 fourtrax.
It should work great for that.
What are the thoughts on 3/8" nylon 18000LB rated rope? Do they rot from infrequent use?
A winch is a winch as they're all the same, but buy the weight capacity you going to use it for as they're the simplest things to fix when they break. Wouldn't hurt to use a snatch block either.
I have some just never use them

I like them and it makes loading so much easier
Thanks! Now I have confidence in mine
You're Welcome
How do you have the winch mounted my trailer is the same style
A little over a year later and how is it now? How many times have you used it since then? I need an update. Thanks.
It's still working great and I used it maybe 25 to 30 times on cars and trucks plus I used it some on some smaller stuff like riding mowers.
@@MrJustDIY Thanks. I bought a 2500 lb winch and never used it till about a year later and all I hear is the relay clicking but no pulling from the winch.

@@seahawkgreenblue6085 thanks for the tip, I definitely leave mine uncovered, but now I will make sure to cover it up!
What size trailer is that?
Great piece of equipment i'm seriously considering buying one of these...to help drag me out of bed in the morning although maybe the smaller load capacity 😂 great vid my friend thats a lovely looking trailer did you make it your self 👍
Thanks, No I didn't make it but if I had a bigger shop I would try making one. I need on to pull me out of bed at times also lol
If you bought it, how is it doing? I bought one to pull a 3k metal bin with new castors up a 16.5 degree ramp, and it died. On first pull. Rated for 5k, and I even did the math, should have been fine.
That winch is actually as quiet as a kitten
, they have to add that sound
so you'll know it's running
It worked better than I thought it would.
Can you unload safely with it if the car is not working?
Yes
Good video buddy 👍... that harbor freight stuff must be pretty good
Thanks David, Some of it is good and some is junk
Nice!
What is a "snatch block" and how is it used? Sounds like a gear reducer which would increase time?
A gear reducer doesn't reduce time, it reduces speed and gains pulling power. The cable is unwound out and hooked near the winch (in the shape of a U). The snatch block goes in the bottom of the U (furthest away from the winch). You hook a chain (or cable or rope) to the snatch block and to whatever you are pulling. The snatch block rolls on the cable as the cable is pulled in.
Do they make a wireless remote control for the 5000lb winch
I believe so
How hot did it get?
Believe your ran it longer then its cycle duty recommends. From what I understand you run them for 30 minutes and let it cool off
It didn't really get hot it was warm. I never follow instructions
Seconds?
How much did the suv weigh?
Around 4200 lbs
So what kind of battery is correct to use?
Large! But, keep the battery connected to a running vehicle for optimal output.
If I had a big boat what I wood do is mount that badland zxr 5000 pound winch on the front of my boat trailer and make it so I can winch my boat anytime I load it onto my boat trailer I wood have that winch setup so I can do that
How's this winch working since it has some time on it.
It's still working good.
@@MrJustDIY good to know. I just bought one to do the same thing.
@@kjsmolik Hope you like it.
Good info - thanks!
You bet!
If i was going to go through the trouble to set up and bolt on a winch like that i would have gone to a 10K because a 5K is at the top of that unit capability and most trucks and SUV's will me over that, and if they are stuck, they will not pull so easy.
I do have a 20k on my bigger trailer but the one in this video is still working fine.

Looking at this same winch and I think I’m sold but What size trailer is that🤔🤔 asking for a friend
It's 18ft long
Are they REALLY that noisy ? And slow. What is the LPM
Yes and not sure on the lpm
Some people! Dont you know what the extra length for the remote is for? Its to get out of the circle of death of that steel cable.
I'm not afraid if it hits me it's my life
A rubber mat over the cable just in case it snaps also you should not run this over a minute straight you’ll burn the motor out, read the instructions before use.
It's still working and if it does burn up I will just put a new one on it.
In that the one you just rebuilt the rear end on their junior anyhow good video
Yes it is and we were just using it to see if the winch would pull it up on the trailer
WOW,a 5000 lb WENCH? Now that’s a big woman!
lol
Yep, you smoaked the warranty by duty cycle. 2 minutes instead of 45 seconds.
It's still working and if I'm out loading a car along the road I don't have the time to waste on it to cool off. I'd just buy a new one so it's all good
Is it still working 1 year later... I'm thinking about getting one for my 1994 Explorer
WOW 😳😱. No Safety bag...
Never in my 50 years just make sure everything is in great shape if not replace it before having that issue
