Im looking for a winch that will only be used very occasionally. Not for rock crawling, but if the mud simply gets too much while doing chores. Happened twice with UTV, and when you're by yourself a winch seems to be the way to go.
I was looking at a winch in the 8-9K rating and I saw several different brands that looked to be the exact same with just sticker changes. Maybe the same manufacturer, maybe form follows function. I have read that Warn is very good, but very costly. With Warn being the premium line, what would be recommended for an occasional use winch that will last? Looking at a midlevel brand with a good reputation.
Is the 8-9K winch enough?
What brand do you recommend?
Thanks in advance to the more experienced people here.
