Picked up a trailer that has a warn 8074 winch attached.
Winch pulls great -- has a hard wired remote for spooling and unspooling. The problem I'm having is unspooling.
I need to put a ton of force literally to unspool the wire rope. I've had no luck getting an owners manual. Anyone have any experience with this series winch??
My question is how is it suppose to unspool? Does the winch rotate in reverse under power and I have a bad electrical connection??
Any thoughts appreciated. The face plate says its rated for 8000lbs. Has a remote for paying cable out and spooling.
try looking on Warn's website. You might be able to down load one for free also. I have heard alot of good things about the winch you have. very strong, reliable and will take a beating.
