There is a special place in hell where you have to pull a steel cable spec'd for a Unimog off a hydraulic winch up a hill.

Several times.

After that I quit as winch bitch till it was switched over to a masterpull synthetic line.

I think these are pretty cool. Is anybody using one?

Really nice winches. I really like the air free spool it is almost zero drag if the line is spooled properly making it stupid easy to run out the line and a lot less back breaking. They spool in super fast and don't seem to mind being worked really hard.

If I could afford one I would snap one up in a second.

I have a Mile Marker 12,000 electric I bought around 2004 or so.....people said they aren't good but it's still going strong in 2017.

That's what I bought as my first winch when I was in high school. What a waste of money that was. The first time I used it when I was actually stuck the motor burnt up. Mile marker sent me a replacement which I sold and replaced with a Superwinch. I still have the Superwinch on my D90.
