Fred, your point is well taken and I did note that when looking at the Warn M8000. However, in the kind of wheeling I intend to do, it would only be occasionally and hopefully only a couple of times per year unless I manage to get into trouble, then I am exceeding my intentions. It did state a 30 second operation at full load with a cooldown, but it also has a series wound motor which my research revealed to still be better than a PM motor...so, point well taken and I trust it will fill my limited budget and needs...
