Do any of those have the "free line" option? I didn't see it listed. I would buy one if it had that option. If you ever find out the pricing let us know!
I just called the distributor. Here is the scoop. They started selling this in Australia about 1 1/2 years ago and worked the bugs out there. They modeled theirs after the Warn but made it better and did some of their own modifications. They currently have about 15 dealers and will update the list on their website next week. They will be at the Jeep Jamboree at Moab in April. He said they are trying to sell to 4wd clubs, organizations, online etc. They just started selling here about a month ago.
List price for the 9500 is 937.50 but the dealers are selling them from 700 and up. Mike Stutz at 574-266-1444 is the distributor and can hook you up with a dealer if you want.
edit: He did say you can power the line out or use the clutch to free spool it out.
I don't know where the guy is located. The number I found just said that he was the distributor for the US. Stutz Enterprises I think, I've already thrown the magazine away that I found it in.
and your right TC a longer warranty would be nice.
