As the title says I’m pretty displeased with the Warn Pro Vantage 3000 and 3500-S that my fellow rider has had in his 1000 XMR. The factory 3000 was upgraded with Warn Synthetic Rope and on a hard pull he split the drum. So he purchased another winch this time a warn pro vantage 3500s Last ride he winched when stuck and tore a drum up bad. Now he ordered another 3500s and it arrived bolted together incorrectly, the drum was crooked when it was bolt together. We had to disassemble the winch an put it together correctly.

Anyone else running synthetic rope having this issue? Next winch will be a super winch Terra 35. Terra’s are built with a steel drum!
