My last winch was Harbor freight 2500...It was ok, but the Warn is super smooth, the line doesn't coil back up when you real it out, and they have a remote control you add to it...

Ken I like and use the 4500 Superwinches also, great product, works forever I have used the Superwinch 2500 and 3500, the 4500 are the better choice IMO You never know when a freind or relative is going to ask you to pull thier big (7400+ lbs.) four wheel drive SUV in your trailer Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
