Most Inexpensive Warn Winch?
I am looking for a Warn Winch for my Shrockworks stubby, but don't want to spend $1,000 + on a winch. I was looking at the 8000 Warn. Any feedback on this winch? I think this may be purchased around $500? It won't get a lot of use. Thanks.

Go for a Tabor. They have quality parts and are made by Warn. I've had 2 and they are fine. 9000lbs a bit slower than the fancy ones(who cares unless you winch A LOT) - about half the price in some cases.

Never had a problem w/ my m8000 and I use them for oddball stuff. I use em to pull trees into better positions for dropping w/ no problem. Just make sure you have a long enough line. 
No need for the tree to end up on your roof or in your lap.
