Winch Review.
I was wondering if anybody has tried an atlas winch by gregsmithequipment. They are currently selling a 9.5 winch with mounting plate and roller failead for $380. I have not herd of them until now and was wondering if anybody has tried them. It is series wound which is good. If it is no good then are there any other good budget winches. I would love to get a warn or a hydraulic mm but I do not have the $. Thanks for the info. gregsmithequipment.com/Winches-s/31.htm

Interesting! And good price!
I wonder how much they are going to charge for shipping though
Another good price is the Chicago Electrics 10,000lb for $399 (available thru Harbor Freight)- it comes with fairlead, but no mounting plate. I've read only positive comments on it.

i have seen the atlas ones but have never heard a review on them. i have heard a lot of good things about the t-max winches. i just bought the wireless t-max and i am going to test it out here in about 2 weeks on the fordyce trail.

pretty much the only difference is the price and the stickers, otherwise the same manufacture.

Whe do people think $399 for a harbor freight china electric is a good price when a Ramsey can be bought for the same price and other options as well.
That so called winch shoot out was a farce to say the least. I took me 3 hours to load a full sized bronco onto a trailer with one of those HF deals. Had to stop and let it cool off. I couldn't find my snatch block which would have helped a lot, but that thing was slow without it.
Many of the chinese winches including the tmax come out of the same plant. Does't mean they are the same although some are.
