I've had this trailer for two years but never tried the Badland winch to pull a car on. Sorry for all the talking but people go nuts about winch cables and towing, so I feel like I need to clarify some things.

Not being disrespectful to anyone please don't take this dude's advice to heart.
Even a small 2000 lb winch cable breaking under load can critically injure you.
Winches will generally start pinging it'll be a very funny sound when you're reaching the breaking point of the cable.
I've seen people lose fingers eyes and hands
When in doubt sidestep whatever you're pulling
So if it breaks your out of the danger zone.
The life you save may be your own
If on doubt, you can always add snatch block and double the pulling power sacrificing the speed.
I ran the 5500 pound atv winch on my car trailer for the first year and half towing mainly scrap cars. Just run a snatch block all the time and it should be good I pulled cars onto my trailer in park and with out wheels all the time with it.
I had this winch on my gooseneck trailer and it finally died on me last night haha. My brother reeled cable in one spot and it broke the long bolts that hold the two halves together. It served me well over past 4 years pulling various cars and equipment. I think the biggest/heaviest thing I pulled was a 90’s Chevy 3500 extended cab. It was torture for the winch but it got it!! I’m gonna be extra stingy when I put new winch on haha.
This answers the exact question I was wondering, would the Badland 5k lb winch pull a car onto my tow dolly. Thanks for uploading
Great video was just looking at one of these on harbor freight for my new car trailer
Not bad I mounted a 2500lb Harbour Freight winch on my work truck to load my Lincoln arc welder it only weighs around 550lbs with the running gear it works real nice I only need to replace the cable soon but everything else is good with it
I used this model to draw a 4k car up and down without trouble. Until I was not watching the reel, the steel cable went off to one side ran over bail and got wedged between the drum and housing. The torque twisted the mounting plate and almost separated the two sides. Pay attention to what the cable is doing.
What model Haul Master A-frame trailer jack do you have? It appears to have a foot/not a wheel. 2000 lb capacity? Any problems with the road clearance?
What's your power source setup? Is this just a battery on the trailer that's charged through your 7 pin plug? Was the truck running?
Its a 5000 pound winch.... That truck weighs maybe 4000-4500. It should be able to theoretically pick the truck completely off of the ground vertically. I don't understand the need to have a huge winch on a car trailer. A 3000 pound should be able to pull any road vehicle onto a trailer.
better to have too much than not enough and you never know what you're going to come across.....winch was on the trailer when I bought it though so I didn't make the choice
I run a badlands 3500 on my 20ft car hauler 2ft dove tail. An it pulls cars an trucks with ease. Granted the ones I pull up roll an might have flat tires. But haven't tried anything that was locked up.
I just purchased the Badland 5000 winch and installed it on my 1990 Toyota 4x4. You can purchase a remote control for it at Harbor Freight.
Since you can't have anything without someone stealing it. I just bought this winch instead of a 12,000lbs one. I put it on a receiver hitch that way I can put it in the cab. Glad to see it will work. Thanks.
i think the reasoning behind the smaller size winch is that you not using it to pull a car or truck out of a ditch. the amount of pulling force needed is much less since its a short roll up the ramp. cable should be good enough for just that
Yeah my exact thought. If that thing was attached on a over head crane and a car was being pulled off the ground. More than likely that cable would snap or motor would give out.
Great video, helped me make up my mind about using a 5K winch on my trailer.
I highly recommend a wireless remote.... Love mine but it has a half second delay
Have the same winch it's awesome mine just pulled a truck onto my trailer and it had 4 flat tires
Man you got balls of steel 😁 I wouldn't have the guts to attempt that but the badland winch should be called badass winch 😎
I pull my cars onto the trailer with a strap and a come along.
Great job 👍
U can buy the remote for that winch through harbor freight
Boost your confidence a little more... my buddy pulled his 3/4 ton crew cab diesel onto my 32" high deck-over with and without a snatch block. That little winch can do amazing things. Curb weight of his crew cab is just over 6500lbs. It's quite impressive that it pulled that much weight at such a steep angle.
haaaaaa no way dude . Its you again ! I recognized your voice and i looked and sure enough it was you the camper guy. Clearly we have a lot of the same interest! Now wheres my camper video Ive been waiting for the last part of it! lol . cheers
hahaha that's funny, and that we do! I actually just recently posted the camper update here lol: th-cam.com/video/pPuepqvZayY/w-d-xo.html
on flat terrain under 400 lbs of force will make most vehicles roll a bit more to get the vehicle up the ramp but really even a 1000 lb winch could easily get the job done especially if you use a snatch block. Now if you want to be able to pull your car onto the trailer with the brakes stuck or some other issue then a much higher capacity winch is ideal.
Smart move putting the tarp over the cable.
It’s a feckin free spool
I need a winch for my truck, cant decide on a 9k or 12k badlands. I want to use on gin pole to do minor lifting of pipes or beams.
how heavy are the pipes / beams?
@@aDIYCarGuy pipes weigh about 4 to 6 lbs per foot and can be up to 20 ft long. I say 250lbs for pipes and beams about 500lb max. I do lots of small projects alone and a gin pole build is in the works. I think the 9000 cost 260 and 12000 around 300 with coupons. I like the tensioner on the bigger unit. Tractorsupply has a 9000lb unit but the motor is rated about 2hp less than the Badland. I may order the 12k this next pay check.
I need to buy a winch that will simply pull a car on my car trailer. I was going to go for the 4500 one . I dont want to spend a bunch of money. and i wont use it but 3 times a year.
Good way to lose a limb hold that cable.. But I like my badlands also.
The 3500 lb. Badland winch would be strong enough to do that also. I have one mounted on the front of my 1/2 ton pickup and slid the front of the pickup sideways on my gravel driveway. It has plenty of power and will actually break the cable (3/16") without a problem.
Hey -- I enjoyed your video! I inherited a 5000 lb. ATV Badlands winch (maybe this exact one?) and was considering installing it on my car hauler just to use with my tractor or other smaller things, if necessary, but now I'm seeing that it could even work with the big stuff!
Will you please let me know how yours was installed (I know you didn't do it, but just what you observe) -- bolted on, welded on, combination?
Also (and even more importantly), how is it powered? Dedicated battery, running from wires to trailer (if you can even do that -- there's a LOT I don't know about all this!), long jumper cables to the truck battery, or what?
Any thoughts and insights you can provide would be helpful! Thanks!
My winch is bolted to a bracket which is bolted to the trailer with grade 8 bolts. It's wired so that jumper cables can be hooked up from a battery, and I run long jumper cables from the car's battery, and sometimes another 12v in line with that to pull up big stuff. I'd rather have a dedicated battery setup.
@@aDIYCarGuy interesting -- thanks!
use a snatch block and double line it,
There was clearly no need to double line it. The winch worked flawlessly.
Why are you holding the wire??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.........?
This shows commonsense will always trump book Sense tarp and floor mats lol
I use a 3500 lbs winch to load cars onto my flatbed
If you were to use a snatch block (which you have plenty cable for), you can double your pulling power even though it takes twice as long to do, it's easier on the winch.
Everybody knows a snatch block is double the pulling power but he clearly did not need it.
5000lbs winch can pull a 10,000 truck up the trailer. it's rolling.... not lifting straight up.
@@11ATW I didn't know what a snatch block did until right now
He doesn't need a snatch block geniuses. He has plenty of pulling power it wasn't stalling. All a snatch block would do is make it take twice as long and these cheap winches have terrible Duty Cycles. Some of them are as low as 5%.
i feel like the effort to have a tarp on the cable and hold it back from feeding into the spool 100% defeats the purpose of safety
Not a great place to put your hand while winching.
Don't be that guy^^
I would use a snatch block to double the pulling power. That's coming from knowing some people in the towing business
There's no reason to double line it. The winch was not having any problem with it clearly.
4 of your friends could have push that truck up there.
Its pulling it out of a ditch that will kill that thing.
some people don't have 4 freinds and if they did why risk the freinds health if the winch is available
You Sir are under educated becareful you could pinch you fingers never in direct line of winch line
you're an asshole, i'm in complete control
Dude .... i can't even watch this
You're too elite for it huh
@@aDIYCarGuy lol no its just .... the hand thing. Sooooo fu*kin dumb lol. Sorry. (I know u mentioned it).
Also ... the tarp thing .... just gonna pull with it no ??
I've always put the cable through a cooler handle or lay something down over it in the middle.
I mean , u had the right idea .... just incomplete lol.
P.s. just bought a 3500lb today to throw on my little trailer . Harbor freight just re-did their badlands
