That’s the one. Any thoughts?

 

I didn't see any info about cycle time (run/rest periods) nor did I see any warranty info. I'd want some more info and do a side by side with the Badlands, a Barricade, a Smittybilt, a Warn and what ever else catches your eye. Choose the one that checks the blocks important to you.
This is a brand I know very little about. That being said, they may have an awesome reputation making winches in a different field and decided to try their technology in this arena. IMHO, it would warrant more research.

 

I only know X bull from their knock off max track boards, which aren’t very high quality and are known to snap pretty quick. You could take a chance or pony up a few extra bucks for a smittybilt. The other brands the good twin posted are also good

 

If you're going to buy a cheap winch, I suggest looking at Harbor freight. For about the same money, you get a winch that gets good reviews, not only at the seller's website, but in off road mags too.
The comparable HF winch comes with a steel cable rather than a synthetic rope. That might be an advantage if you don't think you'll use the winch often.

Good Luck, L.M.

 

So for around $500 what would you choose?

 

Decided to go with the Smittybilt X-20 10,000 lb. with synthetic line. Under $600.
Gets pretty good reviews. Thanks for the information.

Good choice! Synthetic line is the way to go
