Bullet Lines Baller Winch

Tad,

I like the pic... LOL This is a far more appropriate way to release your built up aggression on the forum... You don't need to always be blasting people.

To be honest - I thought twice before posting our new winch on this forum because this forum is nearly always at each others throats. I posted it so fellow people who appreciate our sport of winching could sit back and admire this great looking winch Released built.

i know we're splitting hairs here, but winching is more of a means than a sport. i do think that there is definitely a subclass of folks who can be called winchers though

the hive enslaves orphaned baby bees to work all the components inside the winch... its completely automatic... thats also where the name came from...

just thought i would straiten out a few facts

JeffKnox, hahahaha......

From what I understand the Hive has a hydraulic transmission..

It probably also doesnt help that it is built in Switzerland where they have like a 50% sales tax. I would assume that all the parts purchased and machined have some ridiculous tax rate that Neverride has to pay....

Thanks,

Ken

I'de imagine its Hydrostatic probably just a bad translation
Hydrostatic transmissions transmit all power hydraulically, using the components of hydraulic machinery. There is no solid coupling of the input and output. One half of the transmission is a hydraulic pump and the other half is a hydraulic motor, . Hydrostatic drive systems are used on excavators, lawn tractors, forklifts, winch drive systems, heavy lift equipment, agricultural machinery, etc. Eliminates "shift shock" -- makes for a smoother ride

bt371, you got spoiled thats for sure Laughing

the hive is such a clean and sick winch.Its pretty hard for anyone to top them in quality or pull. But they do come with a big price tag thats for sure. I'm waiting to see what they have rumored to have in store for the next hive.

Chris Barcellos, and i dedicated my life to making a home-made beast that can rival zak's.....just so every time i winch now the set wont revolve on the driver......the hive is pretty much idioth proof....like unless you dont bring up the rpms and you pull the handle down you cant f-ck it up....so even miss south carolina could pull ya....

I know straight from Patrick at NeverRide what the next Hive is...

I talked with Patrick last summer, and he said the next Hive will have an Electric motor, and will retail for $5,000 - $7,000 USD

Never seen that one before, but it has one of Released spools on it. John and I both sent over lots of product to Patrick last summer...
