I did some reasherching here , see the aluminum pin is normal , i sheered mine today . The pull i was doing was not very hard . Im new on the board so i should state i have been in towing for 34 years so im pretty familure with winches .
1st iv never seen an aluminum sheer pin on any civi winch .
2nd , aluminum can be very strong depending on the alloy so i see where this is a viable sheer pin .
Reading old post i see other guys have found there pins to sheer much easier then they thought they should so my question is this .
Are there " correct " and cheap pins floating around ? Those that are made of the correct material and those that are knock offs persey ?
I should think that winch could easly drag that deuce at 13,530 lbs . I was no where near that when the pin sheered . I know the winch has a 10,000 lb raiting , having been around winches many years id call it underratted . Small electric winch with 3/8 line has that capacity .
Whats the general oppinion on the board ?
