Ok i take the point but i do not want to spend over a grand for somethig that might get used three times a year.
 
If you want mine you can have it!
I got one same as the second one in the link (13000lb one).....
Lets just say the former owner bought and fitted it, and it has never worked since I've had the RRC...it is just ballast on the front. motor is crap, solenoid box looks like lego inside...only rusty and fooked!
I had thought about buying a replacement box for it...but it just aint worth it. too many other things wrong with it.
Personally I think you'd be better off with a hand operated winch

I agree with you there. If you buy 4 cheap 13000lb winches and break one a year, you're still better off than a warn. Mate of mine payed £60 for a 12000lb winch 5 years ago and it was used then. It's still going strong after towing full skips across the grass with no wheels on amongst other things.

Just pushed it to £180 for you:D Probably bidding against an LZ dude though:doh:. How much is such a thing worth anyway? Is this the better of the two?

yes this is a mentally powerfull and fast winch

been watching ebay for a few weeks now,,standard 8274 with wire rope go between £500-£600,

have set a realistic reserve as i know how much its worth;)

In everyday use we find that warn winches wear out long before Superwinch winches do. We have a hydraulic warn winch on one of our 14 ton trucks that is cream crackered after less than 6 months. It's the third warn winch on that truck (56 plate) and the truck is rarely used as it's the assitant managers truck. It only has summit like 80,000km on it.
