Looking at ENGO winches. Suggestions on model???
 

I realize WARN is the preferred option by most. Looked into getting my hands on a used WARN M12 but no luck so far.
Read a few threads mentioning ENGO having a pretty good track record for the price. Any experience/suggestions??

I liked mine until I didn't. The control box warped in the sun and let rain water in and corroded the components. Replaced it with a Warn.

Mine has run perfectly for the 5 or so years I've had it. My control box has been exposed to the sun, but has not warped, at all. It is a good, solid winch.

We have a 9500 pound Engo with synthetic line for 5 and a half years in the SoCal desert sun and NO problems.

We've been running the 10K Synthetic for about four years now. Love it. There is a vendor here on the forum offering members a great price on Engo winches and accessories. Search around and you'll find the thread. I just can't remember their name at the moment.

I have the 9000. The wire boots get dried out and gummy. However, I called them and they sent a new set The control box look weathered as well. Other than that I have been happy.

Three years since I installed my Engo E9000S (synthetic), luckily only had to use it for practice. I keep the neoprene cover on it religiously and the cover has kept the control box in good shape. AOR https://www.allensoffroad.com/winche...winches?page=1 was where I purchased mine and had good after the sale service.

Kicking this dead horse of a thread. My website logged a link from here in the database. So, AOR here. Thank you for the reference. Add to cart for pricing. Also a hell of a deal for the SR10S the rest of this week. You will love the price. Add to cart as mentioned.

Engo 12K winch synthetic, synthetic weighs 24lbs. less and is safer to use.
