I'm not familiar with it, but regardless of what brand that you purchase, get plenty of cable and at least one snatch block and a long and strong enough chain to go around something at the far end so that you can hang your snatch block from it, then bring your cable and hook all the way back to your truck. That will double your pulling power as well as cut that pressure on your cable and the winch drum pin in half. If you've ever sheared off the winch drum pin while a cable is tight, you'll be pleased to never do it again. At least double your pulling power and cut the strain in half. Keep your cable lightly greased, be careful how you wind it back onto the drum so as not to smash or bind the cable when using it, and keep your winch covered when not in use. Try not to cut into the bark in anyone's trees when using it.

Good luck and use it safely, hanging something over the cable when in use and pulling to lower the risk of snap back and injury or even death if something fails during a pull.

As with any jobber electric winch. Max load should be 1/2 of rated capacity on the first wind of cable .
As previously stated the 2:1 ratio hook and pulley should be used . To reduce load on the winch and reduce speed for safety.
 


Put it this way , it sounds like you can buy a decent winch for a lot less than we can !!
