Having read most of the "negative" comments--Manufactures, Dealers etc..
Feel that I must give a "positive". Just bought a Mile Marker 9M winch thru
Heckethorn Off Road, service/delivery time was far better than expected.
Being a "novice wincher" I called Mile Marker on several occasions___nothing
but good advice and better service. Price not withstanding I am very happy +
with my choice! CHJ

 

Personally, I think your experience with your MileMarker winch will be very
good on balance. The Duty Cycle is superior to electric winches, and it can
haul a load up a hillside for the entire length of the cable without
stopping for a rest.

The downside, and there is a downside that you must keep in mind, is that if
you are in a position where your motor will not run, your winch won't run
either. This can be a serious problem if your truck is the one that is
stuck, and the only one with a winch. In the vast majority of winching that
we will do, the winch is only used for a couple of minutes just to get the
object vehicle unstuck, or back on its wheels. You need the long cable not
to pull a long distance but to get to the object vehicle. In 6 years of rock
crawling, I can't recall ever recovering a vehicle where the pull was more
than about 20 feet, and that was my vehicle (I rolled on a hill and blew two
tires off the rims), but the vast majority of winching is a matter of less
than 10 minutes of time on the winch motor.
