Thoughts/Input on Harbor Freight 12,000lb Badlands winch

ALL of the cheapo winches have a really low duty cycle, no matter what brand they are...

You need to pay the big bucks for a higher duty cycle. (read good winch)

I have a buddy who uses one daily on a car trailer to pull up non-runners. He loves it. It is slow but it pulls just fine. I believe his is 3 years old

I have one too, that's how I know about the duty cycle.

I also have a Warn 12,000 and that's how I know about the duty cycle on those, too.

I saw a guy with a full size chevy truck abuse the snot out of a 10K Traveller winch over the weekend. It held up well and didn't get that warm. I was impressed.
I have a 10K Smittybuilt winch with synthetic rope on my Jeep, I gave that a good workout too pulling the same truck off a pile of tires.
