Default Cheap small Shucks winch

I may get flamed for this but I'm thinking about putting a winch on my Raptor. I did a lot of searching and Warn has a nice little 1.5 winch with mounting bracket for the Raptor 03-04 (69062 mount kit) I am actually thinking about going with the cheap little $50 shucks special. I was just wondering if anyone has used one of these? I don’t need to lift my quad up trees or anything but it's nice to have a little help when getting stuck out in the woods on a way steep/soft hill you just cant make or stuck in the mud up to the motor.

Here is a link to the same type of winch Shucks has but it's on ebay.

I'm eyeballing that new 10lb winch from warn. I looked at that winch you pointed at and you'll want check into these issues.
1) Weight - is it big, bulky and heavy? Your bike will nosedive on every jump and dip on every turn.
2) Power - a winch can suck more juice than the raptor can put out. May fry your stator or other...
