As above tirfor, warn. Or any of the other top makes (try doing a search on here), but cost £££, as for trying to get one cheap, try fleabay, or classifieds.

Just got a T-max 12000 for £100, just keep your eyes open.
If / then it brakes fix it or bin it !
Farm jack for back up, just in case.

the problem with a winch is if/when it does break, it will almost certainly be when you need it most. Can you afford to have your winch fail when your in a bit of a predicament?
My Albright solonoid decided to die in the peak district last weekend when i was stuck on a lane, luckily I managed to drive out in the end, but I may have had to reverse out. Lesson learned - lack of use causing sticky solonoid, tap with hammer sorted the contacts
I am now going to spool in and out once a month etc and check it, because I dont want this happening again. Note: it wasnt the winch itself but the sealed solonoid pack!
Buy once, cry once
