This weekend I was out with a group of my riding buddies hitting the HatMc trails so I figured it was a good time to really ask them what their opinions were and every single one of them said to get a Warn. I heard all sorts of horror stories about cheap wiring, contactors, gears stripping and motors going bad. My buddy Rick, who is by far the most seasoned rider of the group told a story about a weekend in Idaho where 3 SW motors burnt out and another one tore the spool completly out to the point where the fairlead was the only thing keeping it from flying out at the stuck bike.
So the reason I come here is because I’ve also heard lots of good things about SW as well but now that I think of it, a 50/50 split opinion is not neccesarily a good thing so I’m more skeptical then ever now. Would I be better off saving the 150-200 dollars on the cheaper/lower quality Superwinch terra or should I splurge for the super expensive but higher quality warn? It’s a split decision right now, my wallet is saying SW but my head is screaming WARN!
