    Best bang for the buck 3000lbs winch?

    So, what is the best bang for the buck 3000-4000 lb ATV winch? Every winch appears to have their own varying spects, on just about everything I've noticed a real variance in speed from 156/1 to 190/1, which is the best. Aircraft SS cable or galvanized. Plastic or steel cases. 7ft remote or 12' remote. Toggle switch to handle bar switch. Everything seems to be different on each winch. HP to amps. Accessories. 42' cable to 52' cable with varying widths. Warranties, their everywhere. My old winch needs to be replaced, but I have no idea what to buy.

    I just get the cheapo harbor freight job using a coupon. They work well and spool pretty fast too.

    I picked up a used warn winch off craigslist and set it up with a synthetic cable and a momentary fwd/rev toggle along with a standard toggle and a switch cover that I can switch on. This way I can switch it on and still use the sticks to get unstuck.

    Looks like KFI, Warn, or Superwinch. The Warn is completely sealed (good). Superwinch is made in China (bad) customer service sucks (good price), KFI is American made (costly) very easy to install. Everybody seems to like KFI. But, Warn has the best warranty. Tossup? Who would you pick?

    I think a Warn 3000lb is around 325.00, another 50.00 and its wireless
