I am looking at buying a winch and I was wondering which one yall would reccomend and how they are working for people who already have one.

Slaytwebeling, there is the NR hive outta swedan and i believe its $10,000, the pull dozer that $1659ish and the grinch $1995 with shipping.

the NR from what i hear is amazing
the pull dozer is the same as the black box and i havent heard anything too good about it but i dont know much about it so some one else will have to tell u
the grinch is the one i use and ride for, its amazing poerfect for deep water starts and what not

also there is the pirate winch, i dont know if kent is selling them yet or not but his idea is unique and i think its a good one too.

if i didnt ride for the grinch i would want a NR and would buy a grinch or pirate imo

i dunno about grinch/distortion, but nobody else that i know of is getting rich off building winches. it really does cost >$1000 to build a solid, quality winch.

i would go with a pulldozer. its the cheapest at $1650, and its a solid piece of machinery. ive talked to the guy that builds them a bunch and he definitely knows his stuff and has put a lot of R&D time into them. i believe he's made a few changes since parting ways with hypoxic, but even those worked pretty well as far as i know (i havent heard otherwise). blackboxes have pulled a bunch of events out here and there have never been any problems, nor have i heard of any from friends who have them.

hit him up if you have questions. myspace.com/pulldozer or pulldozerwinch (at) yahoo.com

and i havent heard anything from hypoxic lately at all. i overheard danny turner say he was gonna change it up a bit, but nothing else after that.

scott a, yeah it really isnt a bangin business lol couple hundred each, ours also come with shipping in the states so its not much more than a pull dozer if u have to pay for shipping

scott a, the pulldozer seems like a decent winch but i say if your willing to spend a couple extra hundo i would go with grinch. From my experience the pull is very steady and it seems to be a very tried and true machine. I however am building my own but it does have its drawbacks with all the planning and getting parts in and then you wonder if the thing is going to even work at the end. It does have its positives also if you love building things and take pride in your creations.

yes I am selling them, but I have and obligation to Nick for a winch thats getting filled before any orders, and to be honest our delivery time is kinda slow, because all the winches are hand built by me and tested before we even think of crateing them up, the info on my site is a little out of date we eliminated the speedo, and added an LED gear indicator plus we also beefed up the handlebars, and changed the gear ratio plus the production ones are 50cc bigger than mine, we also changed from a sealed gel cell battery to a dry cell and went with thinner hitch stock to reduce weight all in all everybody is really pleased with it, Correct Craft is stoked on there's Ill have to get some pictures up is kelly green, and black (thats there shop colors) it looks wicked
