I had sort of the same question.
Not long ago I had to winch very hard with my Warn 8274 (24V) since I could not get the engine to start.

The winch motor did not even get warm after winching the truck out of the river.

Recently the old motor finally died.
I replaced it with a brand new one. After re spooling the cable yesterday I had noticed that the new motor gets warm quick.

That comes as a surprise since the old mother never even got warm.

Any ideas?
