Have looked at Superwinch at all? I was a warn guy for over 20 years. But for the price it blows me away that the only winch I have had to repair is a warn. I've had a couple Smittybuilts as well, but the only winch I have never had an issue with is my Superwinch. In Europe they're really big, bigger than a warn. And one of the cheapest entery level winches. If you require speed or are doing recovery more than 5 times a month, get a higher end smitty or a Superwinch. Paying for a warn doesn't guarantee that it will work. Regardless of what you buy most people fail to maintain and service their winch.
