Guys,
I know this has been done to death here and on other forums, but all I want to know is --
Does someone on this forum actually have one of these units?
I have read about 4 hours worth of forum replies- her and other clubs- and it seems everyone knows someone etc, and opinions run high.
I want to get rid of the PTO (yes I've lost my marbles) and get one of these units, and have only been able to locate one owners feedback and its positive.
This dealer has been selling these for a while now and has 99.7% positive feedback, so they can't be cr#p.
Any owners comments?
Thanks,
David

I had one on my last 4bee. was a good unit, used a couple of dozen times. only thing sus was the main leads that connect to the battery were less than first class, i replaced them with another set from an old warn winch.

I have a 9500lb one with dual batterys it goes really well.
Warrenty is supposidly 12 months. They are basically the same as the Iron man winch and unit Repco sell.
I figure long term if I need any spares i.e solonoids etc should be able to purchase off them.
Cheers
Ok wat did ya pay 4 yours and how good dose it go on a single line pull
Master
I paid $400 plus freight.
On a single line with 2 batterys on the disco it is fine.
I rairly single line only when tensioning the rope when winching I always use my snatch block and extension cable if a long pull.
Cheers

SupporterI have had 4 winches so far, Warn XD9000, 2 9500 chinese and now a 12000LB chinese. After the first year with the warn the problems started, brake slipped, brushes stuck and you had to tap it with a hammer to make it go. so i stripped it down and found the motor 1/2 full of mud, the brush holders were badly corroded as were the gears in the gearbox. after a good clean and lube i got it working again and drilled a drain hole in the bottom of the end cap to let the water out. one thing you must do is coat all the gears in grease to stop the corrosion from the water getting in, Warn dont in the factory. even when i sold the truck the winch brake still didn't work right.
so then came the chinese winches, when you get them strip and grease them (found that out with the warn). with the usual weekend work of pulling out the truck or more likley pulling out trees they have never failed me or had the brake slip, some times with very high loads. I did notice though that the 12000LB one I got last was much better made in the gear box gears etc than the 9500LB ones. A friend of mine has a 9000LB Ramsay which has decided to chew up the in-drum brake, $167+GST for a new mechanism, so no winch is perfect or 100% reliable with out maintenance. I strip and relube my winches every 12 months and exercise them if they havent been used for a month or two, haven't needed to use the hammer since...................
