It's the end of the year and I have a little extra $. I'm thinking of buying a winch. There have been plenty of times we could have used one. Has anyone used either and what are your thoughts?
 
ive got a PCW5000, its worth the money IMO
keep in mind it has a habit of wanting to tip over if the anchor isnt pulling it hard into the ground, the engine will shut off due to the low oil switch when it does and can be annoying
its plenty fast even with the high torque drum, but if all you do is skid brush with it then maybe the the high speed drum
