Bulldog Utility Winch - Wire Rope - Roller Fairlead - 2,500 lbs

See what our Experts say about this Bulldog Electric Winch

• Line Speed of Bulldog Utility Winch BD54FR
  Winch gear ratios aren't normally given for electric winches since they do not have a handle that gets cranked by hand which is what the ratio is factored with. So the best info I can give you on the Bulldog Winch part # BD54FR is the line speed when it has no load and line speed with its full load. When there is not load the line moves at 16.4 feet per minute and draws 30 amps and then at a full load of 2,500 lbs it moves at 4.2 feet per minute and draws 200 amps.

• Run Time, Cool Off Time, And Line Pull Rate Of Bulldog Utility Winch BD54FR
  I talked to my contact at Bulldog to get some information for you. The Bulldog Utility Winch - Wire Rope - Roller Fairlead - 2,500 lbs # BD54FR comes with a 50' rope which is 3/16" in diameter.

A good rule of thumb is to stop if the winch feels hot, and continue...

• Can Bulldog Utility Winch BD54FR Mount to Truck Bed
  The Bulldog Utility Winch - Wire Rope - Roller Fairlead - 2,500 lbs # BD54FR is not designed to fit directly into a truck bed; it may be possible though you will need to fabricate your own mounting system to bolt the winch on, as it has hole spacing of 3.66 inches apart on center, as you can see by the cutout I added. In regards to the cord, that is for the remote control, and that plugs directly into the winch itself. The winch is designed to be powered by a 12 volt battery. I have...

• Does the 2.5K Bulldog Utility Winch Come Without a Manual Clutch Lever
  The Bulldog Utility Winch part # BD54FR come equipped with a manual clutch lever that will be used to put the winch in free-spool mode so you can let line out faster by hand and not wear out the motor. It's not offered without this manual clutch lever but you don't have to use it so I'm not sure why you want one without it. That said, if you can let me know why I may have another option for you. I have attached for you below a list of our electric winch selection but all of the ones I...

• Can Other Synthetic Rope be Used with Badlands 2500 Winch
  From what I could find it looks like the Badlands 2500 Winch is compatible with a 3/16" x 50' synthetic rope so you should be able to use a replacement like the Bulldog Winch # BDW47FR but I do recommend checking with Badlands to make sure there aren't any special requirements with your winch. You'll want to make sure you have your winch handy when you call so you can give them any specific part info they may ask for.

• How Can I Use the Bulldog Winch # BD54FR with a 110v Outlet?
  While all of our available winches run off 12v or 120v power sources, the best route to power your winch is by using a converter.

With that being said, if you are set on the Bulldog Utility Winch # BD54FR, the best option is to use the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger - 12V - 60 Amps # PD9160A. With the Inteli-Power, you can plug in this converter to a 110v AC outlet...
