I am looking around at 6,000-10,000 lb winches. Has anyone tried the cheap ones?

I assume you get what you pay for, but I only plan on using it to drag my friends out of ditches (once my truck runs of course). ;-)

Do you think one of these would hold up for a year or two with light use? All of these are under $300 shipped with all accessories.

Runva 9500lb (Can't find it off-hand, but I did find it for $285 shipped)

Vortex 6000lb

Promark 8000lb

I usually prefer to buy the higher quality items, but these are kinda tempting for around half the price.

Thanks,
Ryan


I have a Smittybilt XRC8, an OK lower end unit for $300 shipped. Several other members here have this one too.
