Comments: Got the chance to use the bulldog 12k for the first time. First thing I noticed is the pullspeed was really slow. Next thing is while spooling 90' or 3/8 wire onto spool, had to stop a couple times to unspool and respool. The wire has to be spooled on perfectly or the cable will roll up and rub against the winch frame. Time consuming with this slow of pull speed. Also when the cable did stall against the winch frame, was extremely hard to move the clutch lever to pull cable. If your running harder trails with other rigs do yourself a favor and dont scrimp on a winch, go with a warn!
