Traveler Winch from Tractor Supply

[Paul Bruchal]

Has anyone used this winch? I hear they look similar to Warn winches and are really cheap. $330 for a 12,000lb or 10,000

Generic China winch.

I'm sure it will do just as good as any ~300 to $400 winch. It should be fine, unless you plan on using it alot.

Whats the definition by alot? If id use it, it would be on one of my 2-3x down a trail per month. I been playing offroad in my jeep for almost 10 years now and I havent "knock on wood" needed a winch yet. Although, I havent been really offroad hardcore, just 4wheeler trails, humvee, and tank trails on base.

I have a couple of friends with the the $300 Smittybilt 9500 lb winch.  It performs better than the other cheap winches, but doesn't look cheap.  They're warrantied and Smittybilt even replaced the cable connector for one friend free of charge after one of the pins broke in it.
