    Best winch

    Yes im looking to get a winch and i need one that will not get screwed up when i go in the mud.Since i will get stuck in the deep mud i want it to operate in the mud.Something that will last me a long time.Plus good prices.Thanks

    I had a warn 2.5, that got trashed in the mud, upgraded to a 3.0 (supposedly they were sealed better, NOPE, so $520 later in warn winches, i went to Harbor Freight, bought their $80.00 ATV winch, and has been working GREAT for almost two years now. BUT, that's just my two cents. only downfall is the HF winch is 2000, lbs. only.

    just my .02

    I had a older style warn 1500 on my 05 big bear and had nothing but problems...but very good service through warn industries(Fixed motor twice and gave me a new cable all for free)

    BUT now I put a NEW style warn 2.5 (Im not sure if its the rt or xt) on my 08 rincon and love it....

    Well, I'm going to try my luck with a Gorilla winch. It's considerably less money than a Warn, supposedly completely sealed, warranty looks good....I'll give it a shot.
