I've had good luck with the PE8000 model. Ask Will about them. He managed to break them but he can break anything without popping a sweat.

I thought Will broke one of those crappy Harbor Freight winches?
Bunch of guys have them up here in Alaska and I have not heard to many complaints from the smaller rigs like Rangers, BII's, Xj's and the like. I run a Warn 8724 on my Gen 1. spendy but tuff.

I had the E9000 for a couple of years and other than being slow it never let m edown. I used it to winch 5 chevy out of creak, one right after the other and it didn't crap out, get that hot or anything.
It was just too slow for me so I sold it and got the SE9500, it is MUCH MUCH faster. I have only used it a couple of times but It is much better than the 9000. I got it, with a lifetime UNLIMITED warranty, for $575 delivered...
I'd say go for it OR have you checked out the new 8000 lb smittybuilt winch... 4wheelparts is selling it for $299 right now...
Sorry Jim... As Jim he can probably get it also for a similar price....

I think he's broken three of them....took him three years to do it and nobody demands as much from a winch as he does.....way beyond design limits.
Again....he can break anything.
