Now I'm not an expert at winching, far from it. Bulli and 'Zuki I know do a lot more winching and as has been said, all the challenge guys buy Warn.

I know they buy Warn, But why?
They'll all tell you it's because they're the best - but why do they say that, have they all gone through every single winch there is to prove that Warn is the best or are they all relying on what others have told them.

In a lot of cases yes, they have... Alternatively they have been to events where other people have had alternative winches and have seem them perform either better, or worse than their own equipment.
Even a simple pay and play day can provide an education. At burnworthy there were a number of people with come-on winches, and a number with 8274s. Technically equivalent as they may be, the come-up winches were clunking groaning and winding in (not to mention out) at a rate of knots that had them redubbed the come-on winch.
the 8274s were much better, although they did start to suffer from heat exhaustion.
the hydrolic winches that were there proved two things, a power steering pump isn't enough to run one, and as for the other winch it could pull all day, but considering the speed of the darn thing, you quite possibly might be waiting that long.
either way, you take your money, and you take your choice.
For my money I'd be tempted to either go for a nice little tabor, which are cheaper than their cousins but more expensive to repair if it was going to get infrequent use, or I'd save my pennies and get a decent branded one.
Yes, you can harp on as how they're identicle winches, made by the same people and coloured in by a different brand of pigmy, but at the end of the day the same is true of rola cola apparently, and I don't buy that either.

Probably the paramount reason I haven't bought a Land-Rover yet, as I see one destructed every time I go trialling

Why are you saying that Land-Rovers can't handle bridges either? :lol: :lol:
