Overview
X-Bull's 3000lb electric winch pairs a 12V permanent magnet motor with a 153:1 planetary gear set for towing ATVs and UTVs off-road. It ships with a synthetic rope, wireless remote, and a mounting plate that needs fitting to the specific machine.
The planetary gearing gives the winch a self-braking action, so the drum holds a load without a separate mechanical brake. Line speed on this model is modest, about 3.3 ft/min pulling and 1.3 ft/min free-spooling, which fits its 3000lb rating: this is a lighter recovery tool for smaller off-road machines, not a truck-class winch.
- 153:1 planetary gear system with automatic braking
- Wireless remote plus a 1.2 m handlebar rocker switch
- 12.63 in and 68.75 in lead wires for battery and motor hookup
- U-hook and chain fly bar included for mounting
Who it's for
Fits ATV and UTV owners who occasionally need to pull their own machine out of mud or over an obstacle. Owners of full-size trucks or SUVs needing serious recovery capacity should look at a higher-rated winch instead.
Pros and cons
- Compact 3000lb winch sized for ATV/UTV use
- Synthetic rope is lighter than steel cable
- Wireless remote with roughly 32-38 ft range
- Weatherproof powder-coated housing
- Mounting plate needs modification to fit most machines
- Slow line speed of 1.3-3.3 ft/min
- Not rated for trucks or heavier vehicles
Performance notes
Line pull comes from a 1.0kW, 1.3HP motor through a 153:1 planetary reduction, which trades speed for torque, hence the slow 1.3 to 3.3 ft/min line speed. The synthetic rope, 3/16 in by 32 ft, is lighter than steel cable and less prone to injury if it snaps under load.
