    quick note- the power puller (Wyeth-Scott) is also available now w/ Amsteel line (5/16"), I just ordered some, as mine is an older model I had to also upgrade to the newer style drum to fit the 35' replacement

    rule of thumb with Harbor freight, if it has motors or moving parts dont get it there.

    rule of thumb with life, if someone gives you a $600 winch for free don't say no

    Just the essentials and no extra fluff.

    I have a high lift and the necessary kit to operate it as a winch. I haven't used it yet. If I need to use it more than once a year I'll get a proper winch. But for the cost and additional weight I'll wait and see.

    I know it's an old thread that got bumped up but BTW, 4Wheel Parts currently is selling a 9,500lb Smittybilt XRC8 winch for $300. A whole lot nicer and reliable than a Harbor Freight winch.
