hi folks, its question time

thinking about buying a champion winch,due to
1 reasonable cost
2 12 months warranty includes off-road use
3 according to the information published they seem to be good quality products

would be interested in any feed back from present or previous owner/user of these winches or any body else with any valid imput

note usage would only be occassional,definately not competative, so line speed not a high priority

cheers kevin
the shinny blue defender with the winch,checker plate body protection,extra seating and windows
and at this point I noticed the n/s air vent wasnt fully closed so lets not forget the mud stained interior and the water logged kenwood 6disc cd

I  bought a champion winch last year at Newbury, (cracking deals up there). I have used it a number of times and had no problems with it apart from one where it was pulling under water and mud and the cable wound on wrong and cracked part of the casing which was my fault.
After speaking to winch solution they where very helpful and had the spare part I needed in stock. I would recomend them for occasional get out of trouble use and it has certainly pulled me through the gloop.

the only down side is it is a little slow, but you get what you pay for at the end of the day I suppose

A champion came with my commercial when I bought it, whilst I havent used mine in anger towing the truck out I have used to to pull up tree stumps and move a fallen tree, seemed to work fine for me, no complaints!
