Very good Power is good also

I bought this winch to operate a pickup mounted large round bale mover that I custom built. It seems to work good and I like the wireless option. It allows me to operate it within my cab without having to drill holes through it to run wires. I haven't really put it to the test for pulling abilities as I have the cable going through 3 pulleys to reduce the pulling pounds to lift a bale. For reference, I had a 3K lb winch on it before and just 1 pulley and that did lift the bale but it struggled so I added the extra pulleys. Then I found this winch and wanted the wireless option and that's why I traded up. So far it seems to be a good product and was easy to install. UPDATE 2/10/15... Winch is still working good. I just let the wire out to lower the bale spear, back into the bale of hay, hit the button on the remote to lift and drive off. Only issue I've had is that sometimes while letting the wire out, it will uncoil or create a loose coil on the spool its wound around because there's not enough tension on the empty spear when it first starts to tip. I guess the weight is too balanced on the hinge point. This causes the wire to get a little messy on the spool and when it is tightened and has put a few kinks in the cable but I think this can happen to any winch in this situation. However, one time it did cause the bolt that holds the end of the cable to the spool to sheer off. I was able to drill it out and taped it for a larger bolt and haven't had any problems since. I'm guessing the winch relays on the cables tension against itself while rolling up to do most of the pulling. So far it's been a good winch and has fit my needs pretty well.

Got this winch for the four-wheeler works great 👍

I bought this Champion winch instead of better established winch brands based on online reviews I have read and my own personal experience of Champion products such as 5K generators in the past. The price was attractive enough for me to just give it a shot. The product didn't disappoint me from the first time I opened the package. The installation using KFT plate(101215) was a piece of cake on Honda Pioneer 500. I like the big buttons at least for this UTV. All the cables were clearly labeled. Included hardware was all high quality. The only part where I thought was subpart was the protective sleeve for the actual rope. It was not sewn well and started pulling apart but this doesn't really affect the functionality so I could care less. Also, the included wires were short but I do understand it would've worked fine on most ATVs but not for UTVs. Most UTV installation would rely on also a solenoid as such extra cables are expected. Since it was only about a foot short, I emailed Champion and they got back to me in 10 hours with a couple of solutions. I just appreciate when a customer cares to listen to their customers. The product may not be perfect but as long as they are working with their customers and I am loyal. Of course in this case, the product is pretty good. Thanks.

Excellent product! Everything arrived nicely packaged and as advertised. All components seem to be of high quality. I connected the winched and used it as soon as I received it. It worked flawlessly under stress. The only drawback I found with this product is that I wish I came with a wireless remote. I’d highly recommend the Champion 12,000 lbs winch.

Do a lot of snow plowing and this winch seems to fit the bill quite well. It fit in the original mounting bracket and hooks up well. I used the existing switch and solenoid. Seems well built and priced reasonably.
