Thanks for the info. JohnDF, what was the cheapest you saw your winch for? I'm curious about the price difference between yours and this one.

It's hard to argue with a winch thats 50% cheaper. Sounds like a good buy!

I haven't heard anything negative so far as reliability. The only comment I'd have from experience is that they tend to be slower when recovering under load, than a more expensive unit. They still work just fine.

It would impress all the kids at the mall. 😀 For some reason I see you using it to pull out stumps more than for getting unstuck wheeling. lol I'm sure it would work fine. Get it and report back!!!!!

Put me down for 2 dozen of Heidi's persimmon cookies. I'll give you $10 since it's for a good cause. 😀

He spends more than that on diapers in a week. It's warm outside. Let the kids run around naked for a while and spend your diaper money!
