I bought an Aldi winch to help pull down 40m trees I was cutting down. I ran it secured to another tree and standalone battery. As the tree came down, winch would slam down into the dirt from about a meter above ground and keep working month after month....
I put it through heaps of crap and it even survived the bushfires. I have no problem in recommending one - so long as you can live with a slow winch....
I've even used the supercheap shackles to pull the trees down.... no problem with them either.
My in law's Warn winch lived on thier 79 series for years. Fussy old grey nomads, checked it regularly 'to be safe'.... then it let them down when they needed it.
You don't always get what you pay for.
Not saying don't spend a bit more for quality.... just don't get ripped off spending too much on a name brand!!
one of my brothers mates said he was sussing out that winch and he claims it to be supplied by arb......... not sure how he would find that out though .
could just be full of crap ha ha ha .
There have been plenty of good stories of these on other forums (see here: http://www.4wdaction.com.au/forum/se...archid=2763454).
I would probably go for the Tigerz11 myself but these are better than nothing if you have a tight budget....

If you want to buy a winch that will work for $300 worth of recovery, you should buy one of these.
If you think you may one day need to recover more than $300 dollars worth of Jeep I'd look elsewhere.......
