Only the military that don't know much about winches...trust me I'm in the
military and we use nothing but warns for serious stuff.

I'm not saying that NONE of the military use it, because I'm sure some
do...that's not saying that it's a good winch. You'll get what you pay for.

No, you've got your facts wrong. Milemarker produces a US-built
hydraulic winch that is used by the US military. They are not using,
nor are many people using, the Chinese-built electric winch that
Milemarker only sticks their name on.

Re: MileMarker PE8000
 

Just wanted to know is if someone out there in cyber land has bought or used
one of these winches. I called Milemarker today and yes Jerry, they are
built in China, but they are designed and engineered here in the US.
Milemarker also stated they are a big seller over in Europe and the Spanish
military uses them. They decided to try the US since they are not a well
known name and decided to sell them for 4 bills instead of the retail price
of 71/2 bills.

either your facts are flawed, or youre running some type of reserve
equipment. the US military uses mile marker hydraulic winches
_exclusively_, and they have for several years now. electric winches
proved worthless when trying to winch from an amphibious landing
(submerged) so the hydraulic winch was standardized.

I'm on Camp Pendleton and MCAS Mira Mar once in a while and I've sure
seen non-Milemarker winches on some of their trucks.

i was a little skeptical at first but ive yet to ever hear of a single
failure from the chinese built mile marker electric winch. that said,
explore the hydraulic lineup before making a purchase. US made, US
military tested and proven, and still cheaper than the premium electric
winches. theyre a little intimidating at first, but they really arent
difficult to install. i installed a 10,500lb. mile marker hydraulic
winch on my '03 rubicon http://tinyurl.com/5x5fg (dial-up users beware)
that ill be putting on my next rubicon (or gladiator if they come to
market this year), and a 12,000lb. mile marker hydraulic winch on my
'04.5 dodge cummins 4x4. electric winches served me very well in the
past and i have nothing against them, but since going hydraulic ill
never go back to electric. you can never appreciate the difference
more than when you need a winch the most.

that ill be putting on my next rubicon (or gladiator if they come to
market this year), and a 12,000lb. mile marker hydraulic winch on my
'04.5 dodge cummins 4x4. electric winches served me very well in the
past and i have nothing against them, but since going hydraulic ill
never go back to electric. you can never appreciate the difference
more than when you need a winch the most.

note i stated "reserve equipment". what youre seeing is equipment
purchased before the military standardized the hydraulic winch. youll
probably see them for many years on support vehicles....no point in
throwing out a perfectly good winch. you wont see them on combat
vehicles.

NO I'm not seeing stuff that was purchased before Milemarker won that
deal, this stuff is not that old. You have no idea what I personally
have seen, you aren't here. This isn't old Reserve equipment I'm seeing
it on.

mile marker has been the exclusive winch provider to the US military
for about 2 years. a 2 year old winch left over from before the
hydraulic standard was set would not be "old".

.....and mile marker didnt "win" any deal. they _earned_ their
exclusivity by building the most rugged winch available that proved
itself to the harshest criticism anywhere.

<sigh>....i should have known better than to contradict the great and
powerful jerry (despite the validity of my statements). i should have
known that your word somehow means more than US government signed
appropriations. perhaps youre visiting a magical army that run warns
on lifted TJs but jerry the facts will not change just because you said
so. the US military standard is the mile marker hydraulic winch no
matter how much you wish otherwise. i have not said that you wont see
some electrics running around but theyre simply left over.


> This isn't old Reserve equipment I'm seeing it on.

i didnt say "Reserve" (as in Reserve/National Guard) equipment, i said
"reserve" as in left over equipment.
