Is it safe to ASSUME that a higher rated winch pulls less amps for a given pull weight?
Example: Winch A is rated for 9000# and draws 435A during an 8000# pull.
If Winch B is rated for 12000#, should it not pull less amps for an 8000# pull, since it's not pulling close to it's capacity?
If this is the case, why would you not go for "overkill" when selecting an electric winch for a vehicle, other than physical weight?
