What are you guys using for trailor mounted winches? (Brand, size/lbs. rating, etc.) For a winter project I`d like to fab up a winch mount and a battery tray on my 16` open. I did a search but didn`t come up with much. Thanks for any input.

Thanks for the reply MADMAN. Nine Ball, I was wondering the same thing. My car weighs around 3200lbs and my trailer has a beaver tail. I seen a chart by a winch manufacturer once that graphed load vs. angle once but can`t find it. MADMAN`s suggestion of min. 2500 sounds about right though. If anyone would know, he would!

It takes a little effort on heavier cars.
