I need a winch, badly.
Can't decide what to get though. Alway been told Warn is the best, however some of Ramsey's stuff is nice.
Warn XD9000i (http://www.warn.com/truck/winches/src/XD9000i.shtml)
-OR-
Ramsey Patriot 9500 (http://www.ramsey.com/winches/patriot9500.html)

Which is the best to spend my cash on?
Gimmie your opinions on both.

Warn

between those, WARN.
I bought a Superwinch, higher stall weight for the money and no issues.

My cousin has a superwinch, he likes it.

Might be able to get a good deal on the 9000ti.

Warn is a better company with a better winch.

x3 for Superwinch

warn, nothing else

I have had my Ramsey ProPlus9k for 7 years with no problems. It is the slower design, but it has always worked. I have never had a Warn, so I could not recommend my Ramsey to be better.
I have a Dodge tow rig, a Samurai trail rig and a Ramsey winch. I like to be different. JC

I know this doesn't help but... milemarker if you’ve got power steering. Pulled some crazy stuff with my MM 10,500 over the past 8 years and its never even come close to letting me down. No good without an engine though... but I’ve got a diesel that never stops : )

I've always had an excellent experience with warn on getting parts and technical help.

I have a Patriot 9500 and a 9.5 ti. The Warn is faster, but it`s certianly no better. I like them both.

Warn.

I have been using the same XD9000i for ten years now. It has never failed to work. It pulls strong and doesn't kill my battery.

Before that I used an M8000 and it was also extremely reliable.

Tellico can be hard on winches, so I went with the best.

There is no other winch Warn or nothing.

Why so?
FWIW, hydraulics are only useful while the truck is running, can be a problem.

I've got a Ramsey 9500# Total piece of junk.

I think I'm gonna go with a Warn 9500ti.
My cousin can get me a good deal on one.

Warn, all the way.
Ramsey customer service, if you want to call it that, SUCKS.

I've never had a bad experience with Warn.
IMO they are the best. :smokin:

My Warn XD9000i has worked flawlessly for 5 yrs. now.

Warn!

Definately going Warn.
Any good shops to get one from?

I bought my 8274-50 from PORC. They are a vendor here and gave me a great price. Unfortanatly UPS was a little rough with the box and bent the freespool clutch assembly. With one phone call I had a replacement drop shipped red label directly from Warn! Awesome customer service and it was not even thier fault. They just took care of it.

Boy, that sells me on warn right there...no questions asked customer service is hard to find.

Guess I will be buying a Warn
