I will gladly pay the difference for a 8274-50 for the 78 FPM thats FEET PER MINUTE of free line speed.
Thanks, Aaron, for your valuable contribution in both HF winch threads. Now, do you have any specific examples of Badland winches breaking or maybe, working fine that hasn't already been posted? I think most of us are aware of the 8274's reputation and performance superiority. BTW, that's more valuable info in your sig line.
