My Badlands 12k winch weighs 62 lb. with the stock steel cable.
That's a big difference from the synthetic rope version weight.
Hard to imagine the rope weighing over 20 pounds more but maybe it does.

From the HB site -
Motor type Series wound
Product Height 10-1/8 in.
Product Length 21-1/4 in.
Product Weight 86.37 lb.

From the Amazon site -

Please post if you locate a front receiver that works.
Once I get the receiver figured out, will post.
I really want and need it back. I've used it twice in the last 9 months.

Thanks, Bill.
Looking forward to what you come up with and know it will be well thought out.

The steel rope version is not the new Apex with synthetic. They are 2 different animals.

The Badlands apex winch weighs just under 60lbs, or that's what my scale said when I weighed it on mine. It's a lot more compact that the the XRC version and I'm pretty sure the Apex weighs less based on picking up each box in the store and feeling the weight difference. I didn't actually weigh the XRC because I didn't buy it but my older Badlands 9,000lb winch I ran on my JKU weighed almost 72lbs with the steel cable, I can't imagine the XRC being much different especially since it's a 12,000lb winch.

Funny y’all are joking about the winch on the wheel idea. There is something called a “Bush Winch” that is just that. Google it.
