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!!!!!

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!
