I also have a Superwinch. It has been trouble free for a few years. Obviously not used daily, but I've pulled cars without wheels and tires onto my trailer without trouble.

I think I saw it in there but don't remember price probably 39 I can use my remote on my 42' flatbed and have two cars to load and can stand outside the back one so it is pushing the front one onto the trailer and it works fine. (as long as your battery is good)

Remote is under $40 - you can use a 20% off coupon - it works for me with all the cable deployed from the 12K winch inside my 34 ft. enclosed car hauler trailer.
Of course - some folks might call the HF Tech Line - they will probably take issue with that ....,,,  Jim

Jim
People don't take issue with your opinions. We appreciate your experience. We also appreciate others opinions, including the techs that deal with HF winch issues every day. It's called crowdsourcing. The process of these forums is to gather up experiences and opinions of many so that a greater understanding can be reached. It's not Jimsourcing. If it is a waste of your time, don't feel obligated to respond. Everyone who responds may not have the benefit of your experience, some may have a different perspective. I learned a lot from all the responses. I am as thankful for their responses as I am for yours. Your comments attempting to smear me for seeking additional information on this topic reflects negatively on you. |

Keep an eye on the warranty. I use HF winches for a few different applications (two trailers, plus a 120v one on an indoor lifting situation) and the 120v has a really short warranty. But overall, I'm happy. I also use a 15,000lb Warn on a tri-axle equipment trailer, and once with the pulley block in use, pulled a truck in two that I was getting out of the dirt.
Pulley blocks are your friends.

For the first few years - I used to buy the extended warranty - but I never used it.
If you decide to buy on - just get a (1) year - you only get (1) replacement winch in any warranty period. I usually use my winch for (18) months - then gift it to a customer. Jim

If you want to order parts, the manual has the parts list as well as where to call to order & a blowup of the winch disassembled. I don't know why anyone would not want to have the manual if it was available. It is not about knowing how to operate it God Bless Bill

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
