We've got a 9500lb runva on a pajero. Don't seem to have any problem with it. Not the fastest winch in the world but does everything a winch should do. We actually have 2 left that we have not used if you are interested in buying one. comes with wireless remote as well.

There's a lot of us on here who run these winches after the bulk deal which was done through ORE and the NZ importer/dealer.
I don't think (at least I haven't heard) of anyone having any major problems with them. Anyone I have talked to who's got one is happy with them. So am I. Bought the 12000lbs model and for what I need it for it performs very well.

What they said. :wink:

I have not had to use mine in anger, but it preformed very well indeed in the trial winching I did a couple of months ago. :D
Ok people, move along. Nothing to see here. Thank you, move along.

In my opinion you get what you pay for 8)

I have a 10,000lb winch on the front of my 80 Series.

As the guys at the Rotorua Training day will vouch, they are not with out their short commings.

On the plus side, the coustomer support is second to non, and i had a replacement motor and gear box ready to go in by the end of the week :D

If you do alot of river work, and the winch is going to be submerged on a regular basis, i would steer clear :wink:
