I'm really getting the itch to get a winch. I've tossed up both the Warn XD9000 and the Superwinch 8500. And with the price diffrence and the money I have to spend. It looks like it's going to be the Superwinch. I found one at the local Northern for $429. My question is, Is this a good winch for the price and is the 3 stage Planetary gear setup reliable?
