I just stumbled my way into the depths of the transmission/pto/winch specs in my truck's workshop manual, and currently 'avin a giggle at the winch rating.

So, like... to put this in context, this is a massive heavy PTO-driven winch built into the chassis of the truck; just having it fitted adds 635kg to the weight of the bare chassis, when it's spooled with its 260 feet of steel wire rope.

It has a line pull rating of 11,200lbs. (5080kg)

Half the off-roading youtubers I watch (on the youtubes!) use 12,000lb (5443kg) rated Harbor Freight winches with a shipping weight of 36kg.

Now, I get there's going to be a certain quality difference, and they've got synthetic line on there, and only 80 feet of it, and their little elctric winch only has a rated 5% duty cycle (45 seconds at full pull, then 14 minutes 15 seconds to cool down), but: holy crap.
