Thats a tough call, I think most people would be pleased by any of the production winches on the market.

warlock, a couple of guys from tallahassee created a company and are selling whole winches and winch parts... he said he wanted to make a winch depot kinda thing... he sells quality frames spools sprockets ... anything ... that way you could prolly save a few bucks, build your own winch and if you dont have access to a welder then you can buy your premade spool and frame from him...

I think both Pulldozer and the Grinch are the best value.

Warlock, if you are posting this morning, I take it everything is OK in your part of Alabama? Was a little concerned when I saw the news.

Pulldozer in my opinion, i own one and have had nothing but good things. Ryan is an awesome dude and he did research for me. Great Guy and Awesome Shipping, very fast for ground. I got the 8ph and it deep water starts me easy 600 ft out.

just puttin in my .02 cents

edit: What you cant see in the pics and only on hand is the awesome craftmanship he has done. Very cheap

Ryan Schuppert is definitely the man. His Pulldozer is in the Alliance Gear Guide and also the latest Alliance issue.

If you learn how to Run it, The Pirate Winch seriously will own any winch out there, The problem with it is its not to User friendly.... BUT if you and one of your friends learn to run it good.... THere is nothing you would want to do that the winch wont Pull....... Never behind any other winch have I had to tell someone "go about HALF that speed". I think a better rider will benefit more from the Pirate winch.

The other side to that is, The other winches work perfect for most everything anyone is doing NOW. ANd your mother could run it so you dont have to call your friends and share turns winching..........

Either way. I'm jelouse of anyone who has a winch....

Can i get a website for that dude that is premaking frames ???

PIRATE, he doesn't have a website.. He's on winchskating.com under 400HPSILVERADO or something like that. Im good friends with the other kid involved so If anyone has any problems getting ahold of them let me know and I can call him.

I rode behind the first one that TheLeprechaun pictured and it pulled awesome and the build is SOLID on that thing.
