Pros
- Sealed to IP68, so mud and creek crossings are less of a worry
- Synthetic rope and hawse fairlead come in the box, lighter and safer to handle than cable
- Draws only 265 A at full load, easy on a UTV battery and charging system
- Enough pull for heavy side by sides that outgrow a 4,500 lb winch
Cons
- Slow at 3.3 ft/min with a full load
- Only a handlebar rocker switch, no wireless or handheld remote
- Short 55 ft rope means more anchor straps on long pulls
