the fact that landrover themselves wouldnt fit a a cheap branded winch?

I would avoid taking that defense, since landrover knowingly fitted lucas electrics to them too :D

Confusious he say "man who live under bridge should avoid getting on high horse lest he come a cropper"

you couldnt take part in the top level challenges with any of the cheaper winches i have seen in action. I had a GEW 9000...i dont have one now. It was great in as much as it didnt give up other then when attempting to pull a GWAGON(they are made of lead). My xp is way way faster.
The problem with the cheaper winches is the speed or lack of it. The top lads have winches that under no load are much quicker than walking pace...the gew wasnt much quicker than snail pace......

Any comments on this winch :?:

Hi Red at a guess (which probably mean I'll be put down :roll: ) I'd say that the 9500 is the same as a GEW with just another badge on so you could take your answer from Bulli above OK if you're not going anywhere in a hurry or don't want to use it for an extended length of time :lol: :lol:
