I am swapping my 9500lb winch out for 12000lb one so I decided to put into reality mounting the 9500lb one onto a portable pinch hitch mount.

A few queries:
1. What cable size from the battery to the winch?
I am inclined to look at normal battery cable for this, normally the bigger the less loss and less heat.

2. Connectors?
The best I can find is an Anderson 200 amp plug. Is there anything bigger amp wise or will this do?


Looking at eBay some places offer 2 gauge (SWG) wire for this and this is for runs up to about 7m.

I know I cant expect he full pull using this but at times around my property a rear winch is more useful that a front one.
