Are superwinch winches any good?

 

Mine does what it should. Nine years trouble free so far.

 

Superwinch is like the K-Mart brand as far as winches go but that doesn't mean they are no good. I bought a used 1500 Superwinch for my Honda Fourtrax and it works awsome.

 

Thanks guys. I was thinking of getting one from Cabelas just didnt know
how reliable they were.

 

I would like to have a winch just in case but so far have not really needed on. Im thinking about one of the no name brands on e-bay. Less than a hundred bucks and it would probably pull me out the one time a year I needed it.
Anyone ever try one of them?

 

Freetrapper, my guess is that any winch you buy will work JUST FINE. I got one for my Cat (and somehow escaped having to get one for my wife's as well - ha) last winter. It's a Ramsey 2500 with the wireless remote. Got it off eBay. Now that I look back, I really don't think I needed the wireless option. Frankly, I'm not sure I'd want to winch the thing anywhere on idle. I'm afraid the battery is SO wimpy (like all small motor sport 'things') that it would die before it got anywhere unless I was giving it gas in hopes of keeping a charge going into it.

This is all speculation of course, because I've NEVER used the winch. But the "Looking Cool" factor is high, and we ALL know how important "Looking Cool" is...

 

Mine works great even uner a foot of water!But be sure to get the rocker switch and a longer cable.

 

I HAVE A NEW ONE IN THE BOX FOR 125.00 IF YOU WANT. I PUT ONE ON MY WIFES. BUT DECIDED NOT TO PUT ONE ON MINE.

 

My buddy has a superwinch,about 6 months now and its shot . It has been under water&mud alot maybe thats why.

 

Ya know, I think when these things get wet, it behoves the owner to make sure it gets cleaned out, dried out, and put back to as close to "like new" as he can get it. In fact, I think Warn even specifies that in their owner's manual.

I've got a Ramsey myself, and it's never been submerged. For that matter, I've never even used it...! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
