The complaints are usually second or third hand as far as that goes.
I've got a Milemarker hydraulic and I certainly don't regret having
bought it. The only possible complaint is that it is slow, but if I
need to winch it isn't like I am going anywhere fast anyway. And with
the power available, I can know with certainty that something is getting
unstuck, whether it is the Jeep or whatever I have the other end of the
cable connected to.

Re: Winches
I would think it would be a pretty good sales pitch to say an
electric winch will still run under water, yet Warn:
http://www.warn.com/truck/winches/src/9.5ti.shtml Nor Super winch:
http://www.superwinch.com/home.html But only the Mile Maker hydraulic
winch will make that statement: http://www.milemarker.com/winch-12.html

What I don't get, is he makes up a hypothetical situation and could have
chosen a busload of anything, and he picks NUNS??? Personally I would
have chosen to save a bus carrying members of the swedish bikini team,
or maybe help Angelina Jolie pull out her "Tomb Raider" jeep which is
stuck because its electric winch died. 8^)
