anybody had much experiance with these? i know its a light weight winch, but for the price, and the fact that its just down the road from me, it could be a good deal, ide be fitting it to my yn60 surf so not a heavy vehicle, and with a double line pull it should do the job shouldnt it? i dont do real extreme shit and ofcourse only use it as last option.....

Too small, too light, generally not up to the job, A WINCH IS RATHER LIKE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER, absolutely useless if it doesn't work when you really need it and just as useless if it only puts out half the fire.

dont waste your time or money

true true but if i got it for $200-$250 i thought would be alright for a little while.....

Don't do it. It's only rated to 1500kg's. as soon as you get stuck you can add the suction of the mud into that equation. will just be a waste of money.
