I was stuck a handful of times today and was trying to get out of the ruts as soon as I gave it gas it would slide right back in them. I purely used the winch and it pulled me right out of the ruts with no help from the atv. I have never been able to do this before with my old winches.
I don’t know how many times my old viper 3500 would stall out, you always had to use the winch and the machine to get out. The winch wouldn’t be able to do it on its own.
We will see how this winch holds up year after year. As long as the longevity is there I will buy another terra again. Plus the value of the winch I paid 200 for mine with cable. That is a better price than viper and I feel a better product than viper winches. Warns cost an arm and a leg. If you are in the market for a winch don’t hesitate on the terra series they have the best value I feel. The only thing I am not sure on is there customer service I haven’t had any reason to contact them so I don’t know how that rates. Motoalliance, the company of viper winches, has top notch customer service. That was the only reason I really looked at getting another one after my viper took a crap.
Sorry for the rant hope this helps someone in the winch market.
