seems like a decent price not sure how good it will work though

 

Don't know of anyone that is running one but it seems like a good deal. If you request a catalog from them it will come with a code you use for extra % off on your order. Looks like it is a good winch and northern is a big name.

 

i have the catalog and i posted it on here to see if anyone had it or knows of someone that uses this one

 

I wouldn't get it...seems liable to break when you need it most. I'd get either a warn or a milemarker winch. They aren't the big boys in the winch business for no reason...they know what they're doing and have a reputation for building high quality products

 

i've got a warn 8274 that ill sell you for 550. brand new one is nearly 1900 bucks. its the upright ones. got a custom winch plate made for that winch ill throw in too.

 

My superwinch drags around a superduty like nothing was on it. I wouldnt say warn and milemarker are the best, just paying for the name there, not quality, all mad in the same shops with the same material

 

I'm not saying Warn and milemarker are the best, but they have a reputation for making good stuff. They just came to mind first. Superwinch is good stuff too...I was just trying to make a point

 

Whereas I do see where your coming from, I think that for the price you could buy three of the cheapos or one warn. I would buy three

 

I agree, i have seen some bad azz cheapos doin the impossible and never fail. My buddy has a Gorilla brand and uses it all the time actually 3 yrs now and no probs at all.

 

379 for a no name or 409 for a mile marker from quadratec, or a smittybilt for 299, those aleast have been compared heads up buy jp mag and gave them good reviews, you'd kinda know what your getting for about the same money.

 

not alot of people know it but....Tabor winches are made by WARN. have all WARN internals. easy to get parts for and you know they have a good rep.

buy Tabor instead of that off brand....at least you know you can get parts.

 

I had a Mile Marker 9,000# just quit on me in a light pull. Apparently it is common for this winch. It is sitting on the floor of my shop now. I went to a Warn instead.

 

I wouldnt do it.. you can buy a smittybuilt 8K for $299. Theres alot of people around my way that have been buying them, heard they dont drag down on a pull, only noisey. I wouldnt care if it sounded like a twisted up 2-stroke as long as it pulls me out with no problem or dragging down.
