How heavy is your setup? I am looking at getting mine and didn't realize winches were so heavy. I guess I figured it might be 60lbs, but the winches I was looking at with wire run 100-110 lbs (Superwinch EP9.0) and that is without the fairlead and mounting plate.
Do you generally throw your winch on for the trail and leave it, or do you get it out when you need it? It just seems that it might not be so easy mounting it in a lot of situations out on the trail if they are that heavy.
Just curious, how many times do you use your rear mount if you have one?
Also, I assume synthetic line is a must? How much weight is saved using synthetic line and a hawse fairlead? Thanks for your input.
