mile marker winches?

[lubbes07]

hey guys, i was up wheelin and it was really stupid not having a winch! im gonna try and get a mile marker this summer, are they ne good or should i pay the extra dollar and go warn or ramsey?

Save up a couple more $$$ and get the Warn... worth the extra cash when your truck is hanging off of a ledge with it, or your stuck out in the middle of no mans land.

Yep that about covers it, for electrics at least. They work but they are sssslllloooowwwwwww.

wat about the hydrolic winches they have? slow is ok for me i just want it to work and will pull me out

Hydro is still pretty slow, but at least you get hi speed to wind the cable back in after use. If you don't mined the slow speed the electric are pretty good, but I’m not sure how they hold up in the long run, I've just used newer ones. I'm also in the market for a winch I think I’m just going to bit the bullet and pay a little more for a warn, I think I’ll be better off in the long run.

I dont really wanna bite the bulllet and do it, cash is hard to come by for me. I think i can put up with speed. Atleast ill get out! that is a major for me. I know i dont want a old pto or nething but does anyone know where i can pick up a winch for CHEAP!?

You can buy a winch made by Warn that is like $200.00 less than a Warn winch. You will pay way less and have a good winch. Bigdaddy runs one, and it works very good. Take a look at the Yotafari pics under upper helldo...he runs the cut up runner...XO cage...:Rockonman

magnium winches are made by warn, and work well. the 9000 or 9500 magnum is like 500 bucks. look at the t maxx winches that rudezuke is sellin on the pirate board look good too,

i couldnt find the yotafari post, u think u can hook me up, and ill look at the winch on pirate, where can i get oen of those warns for 200?

i have a mile marker E9000 it is slow but it will pull down a house. it is very strong but it is sorta slow. i dont mind though because if i am stuck and need to winch myself out i have one.

Ok answer it this way...

When you all refer to the Milemarker being slow, are you referring to the loaded pull speed or the time it takes to wind all the cable back up?

My friend's dad has a milemarker and likes it ( hydro) but the motor has to run to work it. I have a Warn HS9500i and love it. I have had to clean rust out of it's gears a couple times and replace one solenoid ( found a generic one for $7) and the rope ( got a masterpull kevlar). I have seen a hydro fail to work on a hummer and have heard of ramsey units breaking in half or catching on fire. yikes!

[bigrubbers4x4]

both the line speed under load and reeling in are kinda slow on the milemarkers. but they are strong as hell.
