Any opinions on Ramsey winches ? Is a Warn worth $40 more ?

 

My ATV3000 Ramsey with remote has been reliable for me.

 

I've seen Warn's that didn't last one trip to the woods and I've seen Superwinches that have gone over 6 years of hard use without a single problem. Ramsey is a good winch company so you should get a quality product.

 

I just really used my 3000# Ramsey winch this weekend. My prairie was buried in really wet sand (almost like quicksand) and the only tree was about 70 ft straight to my side. I stretched out my cable, hooked a couple of straps to it and commenced to pull my bike out sideways! I didn't even have the bike in gear so it wouldn't keep digging. When it was all said and done there was a pile of wet sand about 3 ft tall that had gotten pushed out by the gikes front tires as they came around. I know the Warn runs faster but this ramsey has some reall ba11s! I love mine and got it off ebay delivered for $350 with the roller fairlead and mount.

I have a Warn on mine right now. I sell both the Ramsey and the Warn. From playing with both a little I like the Ramsey better than I do the Warn. It seemed to have a faster line speed than the Warn does and they also seem to be plenty strong.

 

i have the ramsey 3000 with wireless remote. i have had it for 2 years. it has allways worked great. if i was going to buy a new winch for anything it would be a ramsey.
