Warn 8274/new motor?

[petefj40]

The motor on my 8274 is a loaner. I'm after a new one.
Can anyone help me with info regarding how much a replacement one might cost or what would be the best replacement?
Someone was talking about the Gigglepin dual motor and gearbox setup but to me, I'm happy with the standard motor.

Cheers.
Pete.

Fully Equiped are the Warn NZ agent. You want the 6hp motor off their XP9000 winch. Feed it with 95mm cable and you'll never look back.

If you decide you do want to go twin motor, let me know I can do you one for prob less than half the Giggle pin one. (Race proven)

Out of interest what's the Gigglepin gearbox n motors worth as a package?

Giggle pin housing will set you back a little over $2K no motors (or the last one that I know of was). The add a couple of the warn XP motors, solinoids, wiring and you are well over $4k.

For a replacement motor, the warn XP are faster and seem to have a bit more go than the Superwinch 7.8s mentioned above. Nothing worng with the 7.8s, they will pull all day, just not quite as quick.

Got ours to our door for just over $2000, 6hp motor was $760 inc GST. Great thing is you can increase gear ratios with the gigglepin, standard, 13%, 25%, 40%, 50% and 60% increase of you choice. They are very well made, very happy with ours.
