Just looking for opinions.
I've been shopping winches at ~$500 and have narrowed it down to 2 and wanted to know if anyone knows of any other deals I missed, and also to get opinion on the 2. The ones I've eliminated are: Magnum 9000 for $520 + free s/h, Ramsey REP 8.5e for $420 + free s/h, T-Max 9500 for $560 + s/h....
and the 2 I've narrowed down to are Warn M8000 for $540 + free s/h and Superwinch EPi9.0 for $540 shipped. The stats are very similiar between these two, biggest differences being:
Weight - 114lb superwinch -VS- 74lb Warn (but not sure if this is apples to apples)
Current - 260 amps @ 8k superwinch -VS- 435 amps @ 8k Warn
Gearing - 156:1 superwinch -VS- 216:1 Warn
Features - superwinch has 125' cable, roller fairlead and integrated solenoid -VS- Warn has 80' cable, hawse fairlead and external soleniod
ANyone have any opinon on these or any other ~$500 winches? Also can someone explain the difference in gearing ratios to me?
Thanks!
