    Default Brands Other Than Warn?

    I've had a couple winches - all Warn.

    I see lots of other brands out there. I've read lots of Amazon reviews, but I somewhat assumed many of y'all would probably have real-world, country-living experience with some offbrands.

    Are they worth a shit, or just get a Warn and be done with it. (Which is pretty much were I'm leaning.)

    If you wanna share some insight, thanks. If you wanna piss on the thread, knock yourself out.

    Edit - I'm looking at the Warn Vantage 3000.

    Not even sure what a good price is on them but I did notice that Cabela's has their atv winches on sale.

    screw a warn, i've torn up enough of them to know. Heck the $120 tractor supply winch will last longer than a warn.

    Superwinch.

    See...that's what I'm talking about! Thanks.

    I'm not going to be burying anything, I'm not going to be getting too stupid... I'm just looking for when I may get accidentally stuck on occasion, or pull some shit outta the ground.

    Thanks thus far.

    Does anyone know anything about KFI? I'm pretty sure if I will be buying a KFI mount for 1/2 the price of a Warn mount, and 1/8 the price of OEM.

    Warn ATV winches leave a lot to be desired now, id go superwinch and 4500lb if its going on a UTV. Heard good things about KFI also.

    Thanks for the link, dawg. May research that 3200 model. Didn't see that on Warn's site earlier.

    You. Crazy.

    Also, if'n you need parts for whatever winch you buy, Lee Transport has/carries Warn parts. Nobody carries parts for that other junk.

    That because parts are a hot item for a warn!
    I bet I can look around our farm and find 3 or 4 of them that are stripped out.
