Resource Pimp 60 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 Spend the extra money on a WARN winch from the dealer...........I have been through 2 aftermarket winches in 7 years....one was a SUPERWINCH, don't remember the other brand.

Guest bestbait Report post Posted April 30, 2009 If you're going to be using your winch lots and for long periods of time then buy a Warn 2000 lb winch. I have bought a few of the canadian tire specials and tho they work not bad (slow) paying a lil extra for a good winch will repay itself with knowing when you're in a jam and you need your winch to work it won't let you down. It's also a good idea to buy a tree strap and snatch block for those times when you thought you could make it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kayaker 38 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 Had warn winchs on both my bikes from the dealer. Would not go back to warn for a winch on my bikes (built to fail in water) I believe an on going problem that warn has yet to deal with. Bought copies of warn #3000 (RUNVA) power in and out with brake and remote operator. Also purchased #9500 aftermarket happy with all. All this for less than the price of one #2000 warn. If you want a warn winch I will sell mine for $100 needs brush end. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used it all winter and summer on my quad when it was used in the bush for my forestry business steady, and we buried the quad daily. Still using the same winch all winter for plowing snow and it has never failed. My only problem with it is that it is too powerful, keeps snapping cables. I bury it every year deer hunting in Novembre as well, keeps on going. Mine is mounted on a Yamaha and I am 100% satisfied. Good Luck, reviews are often more confusing than the purchase.
