Hi guys,

I am looking in to building winches as a side business and it looks like I can do a 9hp with TAV for around $1800 AUD, are their many interested parties out there or is this not worth my time? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Joel

hey dude im definitely interested, could you post some pics please? also, how noisy are the winches? in relation to like a lawnmower or something? cos ive got a nearby estate with lakes on it so hoping to ride there a bit this summer but probably cant be too noisy haha im from Vic too so it could work.
Where abouts in Vic are you from? We're in Vic, winch heaps, welcome to come ride, got a few low key spots around the south east of melbourne - hit me up mate...

Winches are noisy for the operator - gotta remember, you're virtually standing on the thing.
Over the years, we've had only a few people cause us some grief, but hey, you get that doing anything these days.
Pick spots where no one's around, or times of day when no one's around, thats what we tend to do.

Most winches are usually noisier than a mower (the motor is much bigger), but you've only got the thing running for max 10-15 second bursts, it's not like a mower which you have running flat out for half an hour...

The fun police are out there tho, so make sure you respect any spot so you can keep hitting it up -

peace
Thanks for the reply deano that helps, appreciate the offer too man. I'm from Shepparton and will be here over summer but i'll be back living in melbourne (in Hawthorn, pretty much right on the Yarra river) from late Feb all through the year for Uni. Where abouts in south-east melbs u talkin?
What sort of winch do you have? I've never winched before, thinking about making the change from riding behind our malibu to get a tinnie or winch as i'm starting to prefer wakeskating over wakeboarding. Can't see us getting a tinnie anytime soon though so pretty keen on a winch. Cheers mate
Just saw this thread and I was just googling some winches cause im interested in investing... can you show us some pics dude? How much do you reckon postage would be to gold coast qld?
Hey Guys,

A bit of a late update, at the moment I am really busy and haven't been able to get much work done on the build. It looks like I won't be able to build winches as a unit, but I can supply the TAV2 3/4 clutches (have them in stock) and am looking to get in the GTC 1" clutches. I'll post pics as I go along with my build over summer but am busy with wife, brewing, changing jobs etc...

Cheers,
Joel
