well you have a little way to go then if you have only been doing it for 10 years,and only your personal opinion,as opposed to facts!!

Your right, no competition, your comparing a winch which sells second hand in almost any form for the same price as a good Chinese winch, simple. The warn will still be pulling you out when the cheap job imploded
Again mere speculation on your part,I have seen many 8274's fail in the most inoportune places.

Completely different winches to your worm driven Ramsay.......and 1/10th the weight
How come it is ok for you to compare a Hi Mount to a Chinese Low mount,but when I present another option it isn't Ok?

If he was buying new, 800ish bucks vs close to 3k it's a bit different, but anyhow
Price isn't everything,the price of 8274's is inflated in Aust. because they are popular in winch challenge events,where they often fail!!
If price was everything,we would all be driving something from Japan

Simple question, have you had both types apart?
The answer is I have owned 2 8274's over many years and have been let down in the rough by them,and I haven't pulled a Tigerz11 winch apart,I have seen one pulled apart.And I don't own one or have any connection to them.

Oh it's only an lr, 1mm cutting discs on a 5" should come in the spares kit from new, should only need a grill trim

There is a Warn spec Albright Simon, but it is not cheap:

Warn Contactor

from memory it is better than the genuine std albrights

Wayne, I can't quote that but anyhow, I spent most of that wrecking 4wd's up the bush, abusing everything getting stuck etc, hardly mild touring and alot of winching

I can compare a high mount with a chinese low mount, as opposed to a Ramsay, because, forgive me if I'm wrong, the thread title is in regards to a........high mount vs chinese low mount? not a ramsay

I belive the same in regards to all low mounts however, the 8274...not 8272 which you keep stating? is still superior in its desing

The price difference is the same in the states as far as Im aware, not just inflated aus price

And if price was everything we'd drive something from Japan?........pretty sure a range rover is hardly cheap new these days

Also, please present your "facts" as opposed to personal opinion

Time for a hijack. Where can I buy a chinese knock off of a hi mount?

**clubagreenie** · 7th October 2011, 04:22 PM

I would call it warn vs chinese, I put the Tigerz at the cheaper good range rather than clumping all the non warn stuff together.

Thanks for this! I'd only seen the CMOS ones but it looks like Warn are in on it now too.

I think the only knock off of the Hi mount is the full GigglePin winch which is of course a copy that is much better and much more expensive than the original product.

**clubagreenie** · 7th October 2011, 07:41 PM

That guy in Germany who put the Defender on portals etc was making some copies that put the Gigglepin to shame I think too.

There was one a few years back, can't remember the name, marketed in orange color....

Tiger are a good cheap reliable winch perfect for your budget offroader parts are also inexpensive. Warn is an american name brand that isquality backed parts can be expensive depending on what u break personal choice either way you cant go wrong.

Synthetic rope has alot of imatations which fray and brake at tension less then stated trouble with chinese, but the quality rope you want is dyneema rope and will all ways be taged by name plus trade mark. Can be bought threw warn or mean mother which is the new kid in town.

Last point is that mean mother winches are tmax redesigned and engineered to kill warn, I managed to got one from my rep . I pulled it apart to find it the same as warn but modified and improved so keep an eye out as they may get rated and the price jacked up.

Cheers

PS autobarn is a stockist for warn starting november. Woo!!!!

If there is, you will most likely find it here:

China High Mount Winch, China High Mount Winch Manufacturers, China High Mount Winch Suppliers and Companies on Alibaba.com

I bought a Chinese knock off alt a little while back for $90USD. I thought it was a huge bargain until I saw where they got it on Alibaba for $27USD.
