didnt realise the BRITPART one was a "budget" one.
is it a false economy?
i would only be using it on a handfull of days a year. i know someone recommended the Superwinch EP9 to me before but it was a bit expensive when i l;ooked into it, just thought this one was ok and had a large pulling capacity.

Pulling a series 3 up a vertical quarry wall has a lot to say for it even for a budget, as I said the write up was impressive - enough for me to think pricing would be the same as Warn

You have PM
