Saw this winch on Rusty's site for $399.00. Anyone here have any experience with it? Good price?

 

Its brand new. Its only been out for a few weeks. Its suposed to be superwinch's answer to all the econo winches that are new on the market right now...

 

I'll call superwinch and see if I can talk to there head engineering guy. I'm hoping he comes to EJS again this year....

If I can get some more info from him I'll post it up...

 

I talked with there engineer about it. Its there solution to an entry level winch. Its a competitor to the Tabor series from Warn and the XRC from smitty, and Mile Markers entry level stuff. It doesn't have the rugged solinoid of the EP series winches or the superior design aspects, but the series wound motor is a definet plus and for someone that only plans to use a winch a few times a year its probably a good choice. He had a chance to use the winch a few weeks ago and said it worked pretty good. He said it was slow compared to the EP's but it got the job done.

 

I got some info from superwinch in Jan. on it. Nice winch, just slow. But it is a entry level or occasional winch.

FPM 3.5 @ 8500 lbs. w/ 320 amps.
FPM 7.5 @ 8000 lbs. w/ 260 amps. for the epi 9000 but $300 more.
FPM 8.0 @ 8000 lbs. w/435 amps. for the warn m8000 but $215 more.

 

They had it here at Canadian Tire for $399. Once my bumper is fabbed I will post a review/writeup.
