I think the us military use the hydraulic ones in the humv runs off the power steering pump I think could be wrong though

My SE 9500 paid for itself a couple weeks ago...got two good pulls with it...seemed to work well but I'm a winch noob. I got it for $450us and brought it back without any duty or taxes because I was down there long enough.

The one thing I don't like is that the clutch engagement knob is plastic...we'll see how it holds up...

Aside from that I'm real happy with it....cause it got me and another truck out of some sticky situations and got us home at a decent hour.

Nothing wrong with it.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of Mile Marker.

Hydraulic winches work well if (and it's a big if) you set them up right and have a high volume power steering pump. They'll pull all day provided the motor is running. The problem with most installs is the power steering pump is undersized and this makes the winch very very (painfully) slow.

If you're going to spend the money to get a better power steering pump and do a couple other mods then go for it.

Thanks for the input...a buddy was offered one for his older camper(in great shape)

Pat's drivline in port kells sells Milemarker winches

[hamberger]

MileMarker electric is identicle to the Champion winch sold at costco. Worth $399 new. If the camper is in good shape its not a fair trade.

Doh. Never would have thought anyone in their right mind would look at a milemarker electric LOL

I got some good heavy pulls with mine this weekend...it's slow but it works... and for the price I'm still real happy with it...hasn't dissappointed me yet..but it's only had about 5 pulls on it so far.

That's the 9500SE
