we have a superwinch x9 on our 90.............best thing we ever brought and the most reliable has been fitted and not moved for the last 4 years.
Its a great winch
Also got a magnum 9000 on the 110 not had chance to use that yet.

Brawn 9500lb low mount, also sold in the states as a Mile marker and Ive seen similar on Ebay for the $700 I payed for mine 4 1/2 years ago.
Works fine, has sounded like a barrel of gravel rolling around since new but has always pulled great, not to quick but not as slow as an Aldi winch.

I have a 12000pound ironman to go on mine when i get around to fitting it, a mate also got one which got a good work but has since died.... so im hoping i have more luck with mine.

We have a T-Max 10,000lb on the 110 and a TJM Ox9500 (rebadged T-Max) on the Disco. Haven't used the one on the deefer in anger yet, but the TJM has had a serious workout :angel:

I'd second that!
The other thing to consider is a PTO winch like the Thomas. Sit down before you ask for the price though:eek:

Why? we got our PTO cheaper than the Aldi winches:cool:
But yeah if you buy new expect to pay big$$$

Second hand can be a lot cheaper, I was referring to new though.

I use a superwinch ep9000i. Why? The service in Dunedin New Zealand is better and they are very reliable. And they are a bit cheaper than WARN

I am using a TIGERZ11 10,000lbs with rope on the TD5. Easy to fit. Haven't used in 'anger', however, from all other reports they are a good unit.
Paul (the boss) honours his product warrenty wise - l had an issue with a control box. Took back to him that day - he gave me new one no questions asked.
Have prev had a WARN 10,000lbs...good unit. But $$$$$$$$$

I too have a tigerz11 10,000lb bt with wire.
Cheap and good. Might not stand up to competition use, but form my perspective, if you need to use your winch, you have failed.

Fast delivery and the new 12,000lb with rope is a great price.
PS. I removed the supplied wireless remote, one more thing to go wrong.

Yes l agree. The remote is a last resort for me. It doesn't give you the same control as the plug in hand controller by a long shot.
But overall they are a great unit.

I have Magnum 9000lb on my 110. I figured that I would be better off buying a cheaper superseeded Warn than spending the same amount on a chinese copy of something.

if you need to use your winch, you have failed.

Unless you want to get up a hill and don't want to rip the track up. Or you want to steady your (or someone elses) vehicle so it can't roll over. Or you want to lower a trailer down a slope that would be dangerous to drive it down and many more. It's a tool and like my other tools I use it heaps.
I have a T-max 9500 which came on the vehicle from new. Very good winch and used it heaps of times.
